Keys: Both teams hope to lock up home-field berths this weekend, but the NAC standings still face a possible major shakeup. Maine could finish as high as third place, or as low as sixth. Drexel could wind up anywhere from No. 2 to No. 5. Mat Huff is one stolen base shy of tying the NAC season mark of 14, held by Maine’s Chad White. Ballard has moved into fourth place on UM’s all-time strikeout list with 203.
