BIRMINGHAM – The 6-1 UAB baseball team returns to the diamond on Tuesday and Wednesday night for a pair of midweek games against Jacksonville State and at Alabama State. First pitch against the Gamecocks is set for 4 p.m. at Regions Field, while first pitch against the Hornets is set for 6 p.m. in Montgomery.
The Blazers are coming off a three-game sweep of Holy Cross in a series played at Riddle-Pace Field in Troy, Ala. UAB scored 34 runs in the series against the Crusaders, the most it has scored in a series since plating 39 runs in a three game tilt against Savannah State March 27-29, 2009.
Riley Davis and Tanner Graham lead the way in wins for the Green and Gold, with each having recorded two. Davis claimed the win in game two against Holy Cross, while Graham notched the victory in the final game of the series on Sunday afternoon.
Offensively, UAB is led in batting average by reigning Conference USA Hitter of the Week Colton Schultz, who is hitting .478 with 11 hits and nine RBI over the first seven games of the season.
J Paul Fullerton paces the Blazers in home runs with two and added his second, a towering shot over the right-center field wall, in game one of the series against Holy Cross. Fullerton is hitting .412 on the season and has driven in 12 runs to lead the squad in RBIs.
Jacksonville State (2-5, 0-0 Ohio Valley) won its first two games of the 2019 campaign against North Alabama but dropped the last game of the series to begin a five-game losing skid.
Alex Webb leads the Gamecocks on the offensive side, batting .364 with a home run and 4 RBI in 22 at-bats. Jacksonville State is set to throw Dylan Hathcock who has made three appearances on the season, all in relief, and carries a 6.00 ERA with a pair of strikeouts.
Alabama State (5-1, 0-0 SWAC) enters its two contests this week off a sweep of Purdue Fort Wayne, a series in which the Hornets averaged 10.3 runs per game.
Gage Dollar is set to get to the start against the Blazers. He carries a 1-0 record and a 7.36 ERA with two strikeouts and just three hits issued this season.
