VESTAL, N.Y. - Binghamton baseball (26-9), winners of five in a row and 13 of its last 15 games, hosts Siena (17-24-2) at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Complex.

The Bearcats are ranked No. 41 in the nation (of 299) in RPI and have the 13th highest win percentage in the country (.743).

The Saints are coming off a three-game conference sweep of St. Peter's which concluded with an 8-7 win on Monday. The series with the 0-32 Peacocks was the remedy after a seven-game winless streak.
