The UAB pitching rotation will be Blayze Berry (Sr. RHP) on Friday, Colin Patterson (So. RHP) on Saturday, and Colin Daniel (Fr. RHP) on Sunday. Berry and Daniel will make their 3rd starts this season, having already started two games. The freshman Colin Patterson has made three appearances in relief for the Blazers.
UAB has scored 54 runs compared to 44 from their opponents. Coach Dunn and staff will look to minimize those runs against and continue the good hitting trend that the team has created. The Blazers are scoring almost seven runs a game.
