FORT MYERS, Fla. --- The FGCU baseball team (22-15, 8-4) will host North Florida (15-16, 8-4) in a weekend series inside Swanson Stadium beginning with a Friday night matchup at 6:30 p.m. Following a 2 p.m. matchup on Saturday, the series will conclude on Sunday at 1 p.m. with senior day festivities beginning around 12:25 p.m. There will be a video played following by an on-field ceremony.
 
Critical Series
This weekend will play a large role in postseason seeding as FGCU and UNF are both tied atop the ASUN South Division standings with Stetson. Just six games remain for each team, and the top two at the end of the regular season will host a divisional round series in the conference tournament.
 
Last Time Out
The Eagles, who will enter this weekend at No. 66 in the latest RPI standings, are coming off a 6-0 midweek road loss to Miami on Tuesday. Joe Kinker went 2-for-3 with a walk to lead the team offensively. It was the 12th multi-hit game of the season for the sophomore, who has now reached base in a team-best 12 straight.
 
Under The Lights
Richie Garcia is hitting a team-best .400 in night games this year with five doubles, two home runs and 15 RBI over 14 such games. In fact, his average is .141 higher under the lights this year.
 
Going Streaking
With Stephen Wilmer having his 11-game hitting streak snapped on Tuesday, Alejandro Figueredo now has the longest current streak among the Eagles with five. Brian Ellis (12), Wilmer (11) and Richie Garcia (10) have each recorded double-digit hitting streaks this year.
 
Leadoff King
Brian Ellis is having a monster season from the leadoff spot for the Eagles this year as the redshirt junior is hitting a team and career-best .366 with 37 runs, six doubles and 26 RBI. He has also drawn a team-best 25 walks and been hit by the pitch nine times for a .483 on base percentage. In fact, he reached base a team-best 19 straight games earlier this year. With the stick, he has a team-best 18 multi-hit games with a trio of three-hit efforts and a four-hit outburst on his record, and he's hitting a team-best .485 with runners in scoring position. He's also tied for second on the team with seven multi-RBI efforts and his career .484 on base percentage is currently the best in the program's Division I era and tied for second-best in FGCU's entire history.
 
Rare Breed
Richie Garcia (221) and Marc Coffers (201) are just the third pair of FGCU teammates to have played in at least 200 games on the same roster, joining the 2011 duo of Mikel Alvarez (214) and Stephen Wickens (205) and the 2017 duo of Nick Rivera (250) and Gage Morey (234). In fact, only seven Eagles have played in 200 career games.
 
Approaching History
Several Eagles are moving up the charts among the program's all-time leaders, led by Richie Garcia, who sits among the top 10 in starts, runs, hits, doubles, home runs and walks.
 
Marc Coffers needs one run to move into sole possession of eighth-place and four more to move into seventh. Mason Studstill sports the lowest opponent batting average (.188), the third lowest earned run average (2.61) and the ninth-most strikeouts per nine inning (10.01). On top of that, he has the seventh-most strikeouts all-time and sits just 34 shy of moving into sole possession of fifth place. Hunter McGarry sits three saves shy of sole possession of the program's all-time record.
 
Cam The Man
Cameron Krzeminski is hitting a team-best .538 when leading off an inning this year.
