The Bees: After struggling to start the season, outfielder Greg Golson has picked his offensive production in the past three contests. The veteran is hitting .428 (6-14) with four RBIs in that span, all of which have been Bees' wins.

The Opposition: Infielder Luis Rodriguez extended his hitting streak in a big way in last night's game, going 3-4 with a run scored. The veteran is hitting .350 to begin the year.

Starters - RHP Brian Dupra (0-0, 2.08 ERA) | Long Island: RHP Jonathan Albaladejo (0-0, 12.27 ERA)

Key to the Game - Walk the Walk: With nine walks last night, Bees hitters are leading the ALPB in walks with 38. The patience has proven to be a recipe for winning as it has forced opposing starters to exit ballgames much earlier than they would like. Look for the Bees to continue that trend tonight.
