The 19th-ranked Engineers host 12th-ranked Williams in a doubleheader at Doris Robison Field on Wednesday afternoon ... First pitch of Game 1 is scheduled for 4pm.

RPI FALLS AT ROCHESTER
The Yellowjackets came away with a pair of narrow 4-3 victories over the Engineers on Sunday, snapping RPI's 16-game winning streak in the process ...  Eight of RPI's nine starters had hits in the opener, which Rochester led three different times, including 4-3 in the sixth, on a sac fly from Sammi Re ... In Game 2, the Engineers held a 3-1 advantage after the second inning, but a three-run bottom of the sixth gave the hosts another one-run victory.

ALL-TIME VS. WILLIAMS
The Ephs are 27-16-1 in the all-time series, which dates back to April 24, 1981 – a 14-7 Williams win in Troy ... The Engineers are 6-15 at home in the series.

RECENTLY
Williams has won the last six meetings, including a 1-0 NCAA Tournament contest on May 14, 2017, in Williamstown, Mass. ... The Ephs swept a doubleheader in Troy earlier that season ... RPI's last victory in the series came on April 12, 2016 – 7-6 on the road.

2018 VS. THE EPHS
Thirteenth-ranked Williams beat the Engineers twice last season, 13-2 and 5-0 in Williamstown in a doubleheader on April 11 ... Kristin Mapes earned the win in Game 1, while going 3 for 3 with five RBI at the plate ...
