The Wolverines have won two straight after Tuesday's 10-4 win over Utah. Marcus Moore improved to 4-2, including 3-0 as a starter, after going eight innings while Jace Brinkerhoff and Josh Hinckley both homered for UV.

Dixie is 19-16 and coming off of a doubleheader split against the Colorado School of Mines on April 11th.
