ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Cornell baseball team will try to start a winning streak when it travels to Syracuse for a Tuesday doubleheader with Le Moyne, with first pitch of game one scheduled for 2 p.m. at Dick Rockwell Field.

Schmeltzer has a team-best 4.64 earned-run average in 33 innings,w hile Wood has two of the four Cornell victories on the year at 2-4 in 41.1 innings of work, also posting a 5.01 earned-run average. Wood also has a team-best 32 strikeouts on the season.

Le Moyne enters Tuesday's doubleheader on a five-game losing skid, coming on the heels of a four-game win streak. The Dolphin offense is led by Pat Wiese, the only regular player batting over .300 on the season. Kody O'Connor has a team-best five home runs and 23 runs batted in, while Brett Botsford and Vincent Redmond share the team lead with 22 runs scored. On the mound, Ed Kohout has a team-best 3.83 earned-run average in 44.2 innings of work, striking out a team-high 39 batters. Mark Kuzma has a pair of wins on the season, matched only by Tom McDermott's 2-0 mark. The Dolphins have five saves on the year, with Jerome Werniuk picking up two of those.
