The winner will either go on to play Northeastern or Harvard in the Baseball Beanpot final, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14 at Harrington Athletics Village as well.

The Eagles (22-11, 9-6 Atlantic Coast) are coming off a series loss on the road to No. 6 North Carolina this past weekend, while the Minutemen (6-17, 2-13 Mid-American) dropped their weekend series in Amherst, Mass., to Northern Illinois.
