The Series: The Golden Knights and Skidmore have traded doubleheader sweeps in four straight meetings since 2018. Clarkson won both games last year in a pair of low-scoring affairs, winning 1-0 and 4-2 at Scott Field.

Key Stats for Clarkson (11-23, 3-9 Liberty League): Junior pitcher Devin Fitzpatrick has spent more time in the pitching circle than anyone else in the conference this year, tossing 134 innings so far, striking out 99 against only 21 walks. She has pitched 13 complete games (first in Liberty League) and is tied for third in shutouts (3). She also is third in the conference in slugging percentage at .628 and ninth in runs batted in with 24 thanks to a slash line of .319/.383/.628. Katy Aldous (.311) and Elizabeth Greco (.295) are also within striking distance of having the top batting average by the end of the season. Aldous is tied for eighth in runs (26) and tied for third in stolen bases (13).

Key Stats for Skidmore (7-27, 1-11 Liberty League): The Thoroughbreds have run wild this year, stealing 75 bases, 26 more than any other team in the conference. Grace O'Connell (29 stolen bases) and Bernie Berner (15 stolen bases) rank first and second in the league in steals. O'Connell is first in the conference in hitting (.460) and fifth in both on-base percentage (.487) and slugging (.575). Berner is slashing .338/.434/.437 while Elle Harrison has similar numbers at .386/.444/.386. Skidmore's weakness has come in the pitching circle as the team is allowing opponents to hit better than .340. Only Mallory Allen has allowed an average below .300 and has done so in just 28.2 innings.
