UTA NOTES

• Three Mavericks homered over the weekend with all three being their first career home runs. Zach Henry and Matt Cavanagh both used solo shots against SFA for their first career bombs, while Steven Saunders launched a two-run home run against SFA.
• Transfer Wilson Galvan has started off the season on a hot streak, collecting a hit in each of his first five games played - the longest on the team.  He is tied with Zach Henry for the longest reached base streak - also at five - after Henry failed to collect a hit, but was walked four times at SFA in game two of the doubleheader.
• The offensive uptick from a season ago has been evident early on in the season.  Early in the season, the Mavericks are batting nearly 70 points higher than a season ago (.318 vs .251) and are averaging nearly three more hits and two more runs per game.
• Sophomore Cason Gregory is currently one of 22 qualifying players in the NCAA to have not struck out, making him the hardest to strike out in the NCAA.
• The Mavericks have six qualified starters batting above .300 this season - Zach Henry, Jaden Brown, David VanVooren, Cason Gregory, Wilson Galvan, Matt Cavanagh - compared to just one from a season ago. 
• The Mavericks have come away with double-digit hits in five of their first six games and out-hit their opponent in four of the five games. The Mavericks didn't reach five games with multiple hits until the 28th game last season.
• UTA currently ranks in the top 50 in the NCAA in batting average (.318; 32nd) and sacrifice flies (4; 46th)
