THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (April 26, 2011) – The Maritime baseball team will host archrival USMMA-Kings Point in its final game of the 2011 season, which will also serve as senior night for the Privateers' two seniors. The game is set to start at 7:30 p.m. at Reinhart Field. The game was supposed to be played on Monday, but had to be postponed due to the poor conditions of the field after inclement weather hit the city this past weekend.

Inside The Series

The teams have played each other eight times in the past five years, with the Mariners holding the series edge over that period, coming out with the victory in six opportunities. In their last encounter during the 2010 season, Kings Point scored early, tallying ten runs in the first two innings, in route to a 13-11 victory over the Privateers.
