TEANECK, N.J. -- The Fairleigh Dickinson baseball team (6-10) hopes Mother Nature will cooperate on Tuesday when it travels to West Point, N.Y. to take on Army (15-9) for a 3:30 p.m. contest at Johnson Stadium.

Last Time Out
The Knights have been idle since March 23 when it dropped the final game of their three-game set with nationally-ranked Seton Hall. FDU was scheduled to play a four-game series over the weekend on Long Island against NYIT, but poor weather forced the cancellation of all four games, including a pair on Monday.
