The tandem will be tested early, as Mercer features a proven slugger in the form of freshman third baseman Stacey Nagle, who leads the team in home runs (8) and RBIs (27).
Coastal Carolina (14-18), another Crimson opponent in this weekend's tournament, boasts four starters with averages above .300.
Tomorrow, the Crimson faces Coastal as well as Southwest Missouri State (10-11).
After the Buzz Classic, Harvard will travel up the Atlantic coast for its first-ever meetings with Virginia (10-22) and Radford (3-25).
Those contests will be followed by three days of games in the Hudson-Hokie Classic in Blacksburg, Va.
The Crimson's fiercest competition at that tourney will likely be Virginia Tech, who enter this weekend riding a 22-game winning streak at home.
The Hokies' pitching staff, which has held opposing line-ups to four runs or less in all but two of its games so far this season, will challenge the Crimson's ability to produce runs.
