Philly Leader

The University of Pennsylvania baseball team is set to face Saint Joseph's University in the Liberty Bell Classic on Tuesday at Hawk Hill. The game, scheduled for 3 p.m., marks a consolation semifinal between the two City 6 rivals.

Penn aims to break a four-game losing streak after recent defeats by Delaware and Columbia. The Quakers' record stands at 11-13 overall and 3-3 in Ivy League play. Meanwhile, Saint Joseph's enters the matchup with a 10-15 record, having recently lost a series against Davidson despite winning the final game.

Tuesday's contest will take place at Smithson Field. Both teams are looking to rebound from losses in their previous Liberty Bell Classic games, with Penn falling to Delaware and Saint Joseph's losing to Lafayette.

Wyatt Henseler of Penn is approaching significant milestones, needing just four more RBIs to become the Ivy League's all-time leader. He also requires 15 more hits to become Penn's career leader in base hits.

Several players on Penn’s roster are hitting near or above .300 this season, including Davis Baker who leads with a .347 average. On the mound, freshman Marty Coyne has been a regular mid-week starter for Penn but recently pitched two innings against Columbia.

Saint Joseph's has struggled recently, dropping six of its last eight games. Key hitters for the Hawks include Conlan Wall and Ryan Weingartner, both maintaining averages above .300.

Historically, Penn holds an advantage over Saint Joseph’s with a series lead of 34-29-1 since their first meeting in 1947. Last year, Penn won their Liberty Bell Classic encounter decisively.

The game will be available for streaming on ESPN+ with live stats accessible online.
