LAST TIME OUT | UTA Falls To Georgia Southern In Series Finale (March. 17)
UTA baseball couldn't stop the big bats of Georgia Southern on Sunday, as the Eagles went yard twice en route to a 15-8 victory over the Mavericks Sunday at Clay Gould Ballpark.

Georgia Southern got going early as Nolan Tressler hit a two-run home run to rightfield to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning.

The Mavericks quickly took the lead back, scoring five runs in the bottom of the first. Zack Cook walked with the bases loaded to bring home Connor Aube. The next batter, Josh Minjarez slapped a single to third base to give UTA a 3-2 lead. Dillon Paul followed with a 2-run double to make it 5-2

UTA would score again in the bottom of the fourth inning as Will Olson scored on a wild-pitch, bringing the lead to 6-2.

Georgia Southern would retake the lead in the top of the fifth as they scored seven runs in the inning, including a 2-run double by Tressler and an RBI-double by Mason McWhorter, giving them a 9-6 lead.

In the seventh and eighth innings, the Eagles added five more runs, to go ahead 15-6.

BARK IN THE PARK…ALL SEASON LONG
UT Arlington Department of Athletics officials announced that all 2019 home baseball games at Clay Gould Ballpark and softball games at Allan Saxe Field will be dog-friendly, thanks to a generous partnership with upstart Lone Star Friends of Animals to create 'Casey's Corner.'

Dogs which are leashed, at least six months old and with the proper vaccinations will be permitted at all UTA baseball and softball games throughout the season.
Casey's Corner is a grassy area between the baseball and softball fields, along the 3rd-base line of the baseball stadium. Multiple pet waste stations have been set up, and the space provides fans and dog owners an opportunity to walk and sit with their canine companions while taking in all the Maverick action.

GIMME THAT
Redshirt junior Dylan Paul was honored by the Sun Belt as the league's Player of the Week on March 6 after helping guide UTA to a 3-1 record during the week.. This marked the first career Sun Belt weekly honor for Paul.

Paul hit .583 during the voting period for the Mavs, registering seven hits, including a pair of doubles and a home run. The Allen, Texas native also drove in four runs and scored twice on the week.

OLSON ON A WATCH LIST
UTA redshirt senior catcher Will Olson was named to the 2019 Bobby Bragan Collegiate Slugger Award Watch List, the Bobby Bragan Youth Foundation announced.

The award, created by the Bobby Bragan Youth Foundation, was open to nominations from all Division I baseball programs in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico. This year's watch list consists of 30 players representing 26 programs in the five states. The BBCSA is based on performance at the plate, academics and personal integrity.

The Bobby Bragan Collegiate Slugger Award has had two winners to date, Hunter Hargrove (Texas Tech, drafted by the Oakland A's) and Devlin Granberg (Dallas Baptist, drafted by the Boston Red Sox).

Olson, a native of Sherman, Texas and a graduate of Sherman HS, hit .270 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs last season for the Mavericks. A 2017 Second Team All-Sun Belt Conference selection, Olson also drew a team-high 30 walks and registered 13 doubles and scored 23 runs.

The BBCSA will announce finalists for the award in May. The winner of the third annual Bobby Bragan Collegiate Slugger Award presented by SR Bats will be announced in June and honored at a gala in the fall.
