Tonight will be a battle between a pitcher who has been unstoppable at PNC Park this season and a team who has been unstoppable at PNC Park since 2009. Hopefully our boys can continue their hot hitting, Marquis can continue pitching well, and we can come out on the winning side once again.

GO FRIARS!! KEEP THE FAITH!!
