DOVER, Del. --- The Delaware State baseball team will host the Eagles of Coppin State in a four-game series this weekend with outright first place implications in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) on the line.
 
Delaware State (14-16, 11-9) enters this weekend's series having clinched a series over Norfolk State for the second time this season. The Hornets were led by reigning back-to-back MEAC Player of the Week Trey Paige.
 
Paige currently sits atop the league's leader board in five different categories. The sophomore infielder sits in first place in batting average (.398) – 35th in the country, slugging percentage (.757) - 20th in the country, OPS (1.269), doubles (11) and home runs (8). He also is tied in hits with 41.
 
Krew Bouldin comes into the weekend series currently ranked amongst the national leaders in walks as he has earned a free base 30 times during his campaign. Bouldin has recorded at least two walks in 11 games this season and drew a season-high three at Norfolk State earlier this month.
 
As for Coppin State (15-22, 11-9), the Eagles will look toward the two-time Rookie of the Week Marcos Herrand to keep their momentum going. The freshman pitcher threw a three-hit shutout in Coppin State's 7-0 win in game two of last Friday's doubleheader during their four-game series with the Hawks of University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
 
The Eagles won Saturday's series finale in route to a split with the Hawks and are looking to stretch their two-game win streak this weekend.
 
First pitch from Bob Reed Field on DSU Downtown's campus is scheduled for Friday at 3 p.m.
