LAST TIME OUT
The Wolverines were swept on the road in WAC play for the first time since 2022 last week at UT Arlington and dropped a contest on Tuesday night at Utah. Jayden Smith recorded eight hits over the four games, with Luke Iverson going 7-for-17 with a pair of homers at UTA last weekend.
 
On the hill, Ray Hernandez has gone 2 1/3 innings of relief over two appearances without giving up a run. Carter Krosky and Cooper Littledike added scoreless appearances during the last four games for the Wolverines.

In late-game situations, they will turn to RHP Kade Brown, who leads the WAC and is No. 3 in the country with 13 saves.
