BIRMINGHAM – The UAB baseball team is set to host two mid-week games as it welcomes No. 18 Auburn and Alabama A&M to the Magic City. The Blazers host the Tigers (18-2, 3-0 SEC) on Tuesday night at Regions Field with first pitch set for 6:30 p.m. before returning to campus to play Alabama A&M (5-16, 5-4 SWAC) on Wednesday at Young Memorial Field. First pitch against the Bulldogs is also set for 6:30 p.m.
UAB (10-10, 0-3 C-USA) is paced offensively by Colton Schultz, who leads the team with four home runs, 28 hits and 25 RBI, while also ranking first on the team with 78 at-bats. The Blazers are paced in batting average by junior outfielder Zack Davis, who enters the week hitting .379 while also having notched six doubles and 14 RBI on the campaign.
Tyler Gates comes in to the week at 1-0 with a 4.60 ERA and will likely start against the Tigers. Alex Pondick is probable to start against the Bulldogs on Wednesday. Pondick has started on two occasions and has appeared in seven games this season.

The Tigers are led offensively by Rankin Worley's .321 batting average. Worley has also added 19 RBI and crossed the plate 15 times this season.
Auburn's likely starter is Garrett Wade, who comes into the game boasting an ERA of 0.64 and a record of 3-0 in four appearances.
