Tigers Travel to AUM for Mid-Week Contest

LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The 11th-ranked University of West Alabama baseball team travels to Auburn Montgomery for the first of four road games this week on Wednesday, Apr. 1. First pitch of the single, nine inning contest is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

UWA (23-8) enters the outing riding a 12-game win streak, including a Gulf South Conference East Division sweep of Valdosta State over the weekend. Senior Rob Dahlberg batted .600 during the series with four doubles en route to being named the GSC East Division Player of the Week. The Gilbertown, Ala.-native moved into fifth all-time in doubles with the effort against the Blazers. Dahlberg is now ranked in 11 career categories for the Tigers.

AUM leads the series with the Red and White, holding a 26-21 record, but the Tigers have claimed the last five contests against the Senators. Under UWA Head Coach Gary Rundles, UWA is 9-6 against AUM.

The Senators are 20-13 on the season, including four straight wins. Cody Shields paces AUM at the dish with a .460 batting average, including 22 RBI, which second best on the team. The Senator’s pitching staff this season has held their opponents to a .283 batting average with 207 strikeouts.

Following Wednesday’s mid-week contest, West Alabama returns to action on Saturday, Apr. 4, as UWA travels to Pensacola, Fla. for a three-game series against West Florida. Game time for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Argos has been moved to 2:00 p.m. The game was originally scheduled for 5:00 p.m. The twinbill can be heard on WZNJ 106.5-FM and at athletics.uwa.edu.
