DAVIS, Calif. – Victorious in three of its last four games, UC Davis will continue its season-opening homestand with three games against CBU, starting with Friday's 2 p.m. matchup. The Aggies' penultimate non-conference series will continue with 1 p.m. games on Saturday and Sunday.
 
A video stream and live stats are available for all three games of the inaugural Division I head-to-head series between the Lancers and the Aggies.
 
After opening the season with three losses, UC Davis bounced back in impressive fashion by winning three of the following four games in a variety of ways. In its series finale vs. Washington State, the Aggies' bats caught fire as they scored 13 runs in a blowout victory vs. the Cougars. Two games later, it was UC Davis' pitching staff that shined in the second game of last Sunday's doubleheader by combining to shut out Portland in its 1-0 win. The very next day saw both units step up and shut down the Pilots to record an 8-1 result and win that series.
 
Freshman catcher Michael Campagna is enjoying a strong start to the season since he enters this week's series ranked No. 1 in the Big West with his .824 slugging percentage, and No. 2 with a .679 on base percentage and .471 batting average. He is also ranked No. 1 in runners caught stealing (4), doubles (3), and hit by pitches (4), No. 2 in walks, home runs (1), No. 3 in stolen bases (2), No. 5 in runs (6), No. 6 in total bases (14) and No. 9 in hits (8).
 
Among all Big West pitchers who threw a minimum of 10 innings, sophomore Nolan Meredith is one of two individuals who allowed a league-low three runs. Thanks to his performance against Portland last Monday, freshman Zach Carrell's 12 strikeouts is the fifth-highest total in the league.
 
Carrell is tied with teammate Meredith, who also fanned 12 batters so far this season.
 
After dropping the first three games of its home series vs. Saint Mary's, CBU scored three early runs to end last weekend's series with an 8-5 victory.
 
As is the case with the Aggies, the Lancers will enter this weekend's series with a 3-4 overall record after starting their season with two wins out of three home games played against Pepperdine.
 
Of the 34 runs scored by California Baptist throughout its first seven games, nearly one-third (11) took place in the eighth inning alone. When combined with runs scored in the seventh and ninth innings, 20 of its 34 runs took place throughout the final third of its games.
