With just three more three-game home series left to be played, the University of Utah baseball team (19-19, 9-12 Pac-12) enters its final stretch of the regular season with a non-conference series against the University of California, Riverside (16-23, 4-11 BWC) this week. The action gets underway Thursday with first pitch set for 7 p.m. MT., and is followed by Friday’s game at 6 p.m. MT. The weekend series concludes Saturday with game three at 11:30 a.m. MT at Smith’s Ballpark.
Although this is a break from Pac-12 competition, Utah knows the competitiveness it has when it faces conference opponents needs to still be present when it meets UC Riverside on the diamond.
