THE GAME

Two teams near the bottom of their respective conferences meet for the second time this season when the Elon Phoenix visit the Queens (NC) Royals on Tuesday night at Truist Park.

Elon (19-31) has lost five of its last six games, including a three-game sweep at the hands of College of Charleston over the weekend. The Phoenix were outscored 28-9 in that series, capped by an 11-3 loss Sunday.

Queens (15-35) also is struggling, dropping three of its last four. The Royals salvaged a 4-3 win over North Florida on Saturday but fell 12-1 in Sunday’s series finale.

The teams last met March 31, when Queens outlasted Elon 7-8 in 10 innings.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Elon: RHP Cole Miller. The reliever has been erratic but logged a scoreless inning Sunday against College of Charleston (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER). Over his last six outings, Miller has a 5.14 ERA across 7.2 innings with two strikeouts and a walk. He allowed four earned runs in 1.2 innings May 5 at South Carolina Upstate.

Queens: RHP Davin Pollard. The right-hander has been a key bullpen arm for the Royals. In his last three appearances, Pollard has a 2.70 ERA over 5.1 innings with six strikeouts. He tossed two scoreless innings Sunday against North Florida (2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 K) and earned the win May 5 at Duke (2.1 IP, 0 H, 5 ER, 2 K) despite a high earned-run total.
