Louisiana Tech will travel to Arizona for a 3-game non-conference series this weekend.

Friday | 8 PM
Saturday | 8 PM
Sunday | 12 PM

All 3 games will be on PAC-12 Network+/SportsTalk 97.7 FM.

The Wildcats come in at 18-13 overall and have won 8 games in a row.

Arizona is an interesting team in that they rank 15th nationally in ERA. It’s all centered around ranking 1st nationally in walks per 9 IP. They are 130th in hits allowed, and 126th in fielding %. Pretty pedestrian, but they force you to beat them by getting hits.

The Bulldogs rank 39th nationally in team batting average. Good pitching beats good hitting? We’ll find out.

Also, Tech ranks 26th nationally in fielding %. Maybe I’m too hard on the defense at times.

Reed Smith moves back to Friday night, Nichols on Saturday, and Swistak on Sunday.

We’ll see what is in store for McLeod & Davis when it gets closer to game time. If both are out, it’ll be interesting to see what Tech does. Lefty starts on Friday for Arizona, so I doubt you want Safford & Drost in the lineup. Maybe Coates gets a start? Somehow get Evans in the lineup? We’ll see.
