LIVINGSTON, Ala. -- The third-ranked University of West Alabama baseball team travels to Valdosta, Ga. for a three-game, Gulf South Conference weekend series, as the Tigers (29-5) face Valdosta State (20-10-1). First pitch of the Saturday doubleheader is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. The game will be carried on Y-104.9-FM and athletics.uwa.edu.

Valdosta State holds the all-time advantage in the series, 27-24, that began in 1970. The initial meeting took place in the NAIA Regional Tournament with UWA claiming an 11-5 victory. Last season, the two teams squared off in Livingston, Ala. with UWA claiming the series 2-1. The Blazers opened with a 5-2 victory in the top half of the doubleheader, but the Diamond Tigers took the night cap of the twinbill, 3-0, and then won the series on Sunday 4-2.

The Tigers, who enter the contest riding a four-game win streak, are 5-1 in the Gulf South Conference with a series win over in-state Montevallo last weekend and a sweep of UAH to open conference play. The Red and White are 5-2 away from Tartt Field this season entering the weekend series at VSU.

The Blazers enter the series undefeated in conference play, after sweeping UAH last weekend at Billy Grant Field. VSU currently rides a four-game win streak of its own entering the series after downing 15-12 during the mid-week.

The conference series concludes on Sunday, March 30, with a 12:00 p.m. scheduled start time. The game will be carried on Y-104.9-FM and athletics.uwa.edu.
