OREM, Utah -- Utah Valley baseball travels to Cedar City for a three-game series against in-state rival Southern Utah beginning Thursday at 2 p.m. at Thunderbird Park. The teams will also play doubleheader on Friday in St. George (Dixie HS) beginning at 12:00 p.m. Live stats for all games can be found at SUUTBirds.com.
The Wolverines (2-2) split four games at the 2011 Red Raider Classic at Texas Tech. UVU defeated Big 10 Northwestern, 3-0, in the opener as Blake Krahenbuhl and Josh Swenson combined on the team's first shutout since the 2008 season finale.
Utah Valley fell 3-2 to Western Michigan and then 6-2 to host Texas Tech before finishing the weekend with a 3-1 win over Western Michigan behind a two-hitter from starter Kyle Beecher and Brock Sargent.
Beecher and Billy Burgess, who went 9-for-15 on the weekend, were both named to the all-tournament team.
Southern Utah started 2-0, sweeping a doubleheader at home over Northern Illinois before rain washed out the series finale on Saturday. Utah Valley went 6-2 against SUU during the 2010 season and owns a 21-19 all-time edge in the competitive series.
Utah Valley will play its next six games on the road at Pac 10 schools. The Wolverines travel to Tucson to face Arizona, a team currently ranked No. 18 by Baseball America, next week for a three-game series. They'll face Washington State on the road in a three-game series the following week.
