UAB Baseball to Host Old Dominion Starting Thursday
4/13/2022 11:38:00β―AM | Baseball
BIRMINGHAM β The UAB baseball team has a huge weekend as the Blazers host defending Conference USA Champion Old Dominion at Young Memorial Field this Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Β
The Blazers (21-11, 7-5 C-USA) have an opportunity to make a statement against ODU (23-8, 6-6 C-USA). UAB is coming off a heartbreaking 6-5 loss in extra innings at defending National Champion Mississippi State, while ODU just defeated No. 8 Virginia 9-2 on Tuesday.
Β
UAB has won three of four C-USA series this weekend and sits in a tie for third place in the league standings. ODU is one game behind the Blazers but has the second most overall wins in Conference USA.
Β
Christian Hall is in the running for Conference USA Player of the Year as he enters the weekend with a .405 batting average, just one point behind the league leader Nolan Schanuel (.406) of Florida Atlantic. Hall enters the series with a 12-game hitting streak and has reached base safely in 24 straight games.
Β
UAB will keep with its pitching rotation of Jackson Reynolds, Tyler O'Clair and Brooks Walton this weekend. Reynolds is putting together an excellent season as he owns a 2.61 ERA in eight starts and went 7.2 innings in his last start and picked up the win at FAU.
Β
Thursday's game is slated for a 6 p.m. first pitch, with Friday beginning at 2 p.m. and Saturday at 11:30 a.m. Friday's game will air on ESPN+, while the other two games can be seen on CUSA.tv.
