Outlook: The Black Bears must regroup after being swept by Boston University in a doubleheader duel between teams previously tied for first in the league. They face another stiff challenge in the Danes, who feature a balanced offensive attack with 18 homers and 40 stolen bases. Albany is averaging 3.8 runs per game to Maine’s 3.1, but the Bears are scoring 6.3 a game in their last eight. Maine will need better efforts on the mound than it got vs. BU to maintain its position near the top of the AE heap.
