LAST TIME OUT
The Wolverines swept Utah Tech over the weekend for their second WAC sweep of the season. They outscored the Trailblazers 32-6 on the weekend, winning two games via the ten-run rule. It was a dominant performance with the bats as they hit .330 as a team and scored 15, 11, and six runs in the three games.
 
ABOUT THE NIGHTHAWKS
Northwest Nazarene is 21-9-1 on the year and came in No. 10 in the NCBWA DII Poll last Wednesday. Gavin Brubaker leads NNU, hitting .324 on the year, but the power has come from Cal Poly transfer Trevor Tishenkel, who has gone deep eight times so far this season. They are a team that likes to run, having 70 stolen bases this year, with Carter Walsh accounting for 19.
 
BACH WINS TICKETSMARTER WAC HITTER OF THE WEEK
UVU junior outfielder Nate Bach was awarded the TicketSmarter WAC Hitter of the Week. Bach finished the week hitting .500, going 7-for-14 with two home runs, including a three-run blast against Utah this past Tuesday. He had a standout weekend in UVU's sweep of Utah Tech, where he hit .556 (5-for-9) with a solo home run while adding four other hits and scoring six of Utah Valley's 32 runs in the series.
 
WATCH DICKINSON ON THE BASES
Daniel Dickinson is a perfect 19 for 19 on the bases entering the game on Tuesday. He needs three to pass Nick Connor (2005) for the most stolen bases in a single season. If he gets six more stolen bases, he will pass Chris Benson (2011) for the most all-time with 35.
