The Last Meeting
The Lafayette Nine took 3-of-4 to open Patriot League play from Lehigh earlier this season, highlighted by junior Trey Durrah's three home runs and 15 RBIs in the series. Sophomore JP Woodward tossed a complete game in the series opener with a career-high nine strikeouts and junior Brett Kreyer matched him with a complete game and career-high nine Ks in game three.
 
Rouse Is Streaking
Senior Spencer Rouse has already eclipsed his 2018 hits total of 29 with 32 already through 32 games this season. He has also reached base in his last 17 games, including three multi-hit games at Army and two home runs in the series opener.
 
Starting Strong in the PL
The Leopards are off to their best start through 13 conference games since the 2011 campaign when they were 8-5 and finished Patriot League play at .500.
 
Road Warriors
Lafayette opened the season playing 22 games away from home before finally getting to play a home game on March 30. Only three teams in the country played more road games to open the season with the leader being Western Michigan at 31 games. 
 
Craska's A Savior
Freshman Frank Craska impressed early on in his career on College Hill, striking out the side in his first appearance out of the Lafayette bullpen. Since then, he is 4-for-4 in save situations with two in Liberty Bell Classic games. 
 
Looking for Back-to-Back Bells
The Leopards are looking to defend their 2018 Liberty Bell Classic championship, returning to Citizens Bank Park for the second straight season on April 23 for a rematch with the University of Delaware after defeating the Blue Hens, 9-4, a season ago.
 
Lafayette defeated St. Joseph's on March 26, 3-1, in the quarterfinals and Villanova in the semifinal on April 2, 8-6. The Maroon and White won the event in 2007 and 2008 and would be the first team to repeat since those two championships.
 
Born a Leopard
Junior outfielder Trey Durrah has been a part of the Lafayette baseball program for nearly his entire life. Durrah is the son of former pitching coach and current director of operations Gregg Durrah and served as the Leopards' bat boy in the early 2000s.
 
An Even Twenty
Head coach Joe Kinney is in his 20th season at the helm, making him the second-longest tenured head coach in the Patriot League. Former pitching coach and current director of baseball operations, Gregg Durrah, has been on Kinney's staff for each of the 20 years.
 
Captains by Committee
Lafayette is going with positional captains in 2019. Leading the catchers is junior Drew Jansen, the infielders is senior Spencer Rouse, the outfielders have senior Dan Leckie.  The pitchers are represented by seniors David Giusti, Kyle Johnson and Connor Jones.
