FAIRFIELD (25-20) AT SACRED HEART (14-27) Saturday, May 16, 2026, afternoon The Ballpark at Harbor Yard, Bridgeport, Conn. Weather: 64°F, cloudy

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Interstat) — Fairfield visits Sacred Heart on Saturday afternoon in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference matchup that pits the league’s second‑best offense against a Pioneers club seeking to snap a three‑game skid.

The Stags (25‑20 overall) enter the day having won four of their last five, including a 13‑11 slugfest Tuesday against New Haven. Fairfield’s lineup is paced by right fielder Matthew Bucciero, who is 10‑for‑27 (.370) with two home runs and eight RBIs over his past seven games. Bucciero went 4‑for‑4 with three RBIs in a May 2 win at Quinnipiac and has driven in at least one run in six of his last 10 contests.

Sacred Heart (14‑27) has lost three in a row, but third baseman Ronan Donohue has been a bright spot. He homered twice and drove in three runs in a 10‑5 victory at Canisius on May 10. Donohue is hitting .400 over his last five games (8‑for‑20) with 10 total RBI in that span.

The teams played a doubleheader Friday at Harbor Yard; results were not immediately available for this preview.

Fairfield’s pitching staff owns a 4.76 ERA, while Sacred Heart’s is 7.46. The Stags have outscored opponents 340‑296 this season; the Pioneers have been outscored 341‑271.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is Fairfield 5, Sacred Heart 4.

First pitch is set for 1 p.m. EDT.
