Outlook: The Bears look for their first America East victories against the Tigers. Brewer earns a league start after a strong outing against Wagner. He has recovered after injuring his thumb in that game. Dickinson makes his first start of ’98 after four relief outings. Senior Tony Fernandez, who hit .294 in five games last week, could help Maine solve its DH woes. Towson is batting .321, averaging 7.2 runs. Pitching has been the big question mark.
