• With six double plays turned on opening weekend, the Mavericks trail only Purdue in doubles plays (7).
• Cesar Gomez filled the closer role for the Mavericks last weekend, finishing with two saves and not allowing a single hit in either appearance.
• In his second at-bat of the season, Andrew Miller hit his first career grand slam en route to a six RBI day.

KNOW YOUR OPPONENT | DALLAS BAPTIST

• DBU has made it to the NCAA Regional in six straight seasons and eight out of the past nine years.
• The Patriots are coming off a three-game sweep over South Dakota State.  They won in extra innings on Saturday (8-7, 11) but run-ruled the Jackrabbits on Sunday (13-2, 7)
• Andres Sosa is batting .400 through the first weekend of the season with an OPS of 1.271.  His four RBI are tied for the team lead. Jace Grady is second on the team with a .300 average.
• The Patriots only had one pitcher last five innings last weekend - Dominic Hamel. The staff kept the Jackrabbits to hitting just .172 on the series.
• The Mavs won the last meeting against the Patriots in Dallas, 9-0. They will look to win back-to-back in Dallas for the first time since 2011 and just second time ever.
