ABOUT THE FIREFLIES: Columbia is 11-11 and a half-game back of first place in the Southern Division entering Sunday's play. After a miserable first half that saw the Fireflies finish in the basement of the division (11.5 games back) at 24-42, Columbia has seen a nice offensive uptick, including 16 homers and 96 RBI, in 22 games. Leading the way in the second half offensively is Hayden Senger, who boasts a .456 clip with three long balls and 17 RBI. Allan Winans has provided a nice boost in the back of the Fireflies bullpen, finishing seven of the eight games he has appeared and picking up five saves while posting a 0.90 ERA. West Virginia swept Columbia in the two teams' first series of the season from April 22-24 at Appalachian Power Park.

ABOUT THE SHOREBIRDS: Delmarva travels to Appalachian Power Park for the third time this season after getting swept by West Virginia in the final home series of the first half and returning the favor last week. The Shorebirds continue their winning ways, as they head into Sunday with a 17-6 record and a 2.5-game lead in the Northern Division standings over Hickory. With an overall record of 65-27, Delmarva claims the best record across Minor League Baseball and was the first team in the country to reach 65 wins on the campaign. INF Adam Hall has continued to be a constant source of production for the 'Birds, averaging .316 with three homers and 34 RBI, while the Delmarva offense as a whole is averaging .248, tied for the best mark in the league. Their pitching staff has excelled throughout the second half as well, boasting the league's lowest ERA (2.84).
