ARLINGTON - HBU wraps up a four-game road swing when it takes on UT Arlington in non-conference baseball Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Clay Gould Ballpark. The Legacy Sports Network audio broadcast with Russ Reneau begins at 6:15 with the pregame show and can be accessed on HBUHuskies.com and LSN.

Senior second baseman Greg Espinosa is hitting .311 with six doubles, a triple, 12 RBIs and leads the Huskies (16-15) with 19 runs, while senior shortstop Louie Payetta is hitting .308 with seven doubles, a team-leading 16 RBIs and 16 runs. Junior third baseman Austin Zillweger is also hitting .308 with three doubles, seven RBIs and nine runs, and senior first baseman Justin Monsour is hitting .256 with a team-leading nine extra-base hits (seven doubles, two triples), five RBIs and 14 runs.

HBU is expected to start senior righthander Brody Toal (0-0, 1.76 ERA), who will be making his first start of the season after eight appearances out of the bullpen.

Brady Cox is the leading hitter for UTA (18-15) with a .382 average, seven doubles, a home run and a team-leading 29 RBIs. Matt McLean is hitting .372 with 11 doubles, three triples, 16 RBIs and leads the team with 36 runs. Quintin Rohrbaugh is hitting .359 with six doubles, two triples, a homer, 22 RBIs and 21 runs, while Darien McLemore is hitting .347 with six doubles, two home runs, 23 RBIs and 22 runs.

The Mavericks will start righthander Matt Michalski (0-1, 10.66 ERA), who will make his second start of the season.

UTA leads the all-time series against HBU, 8-6, but the Huskies swept the Mavericks in a pair of meetings last season. Matthew McCollough tossed a complete game and struck out 10 in a 2-1 victory in Arlington on Feb. 22, then Zach Nehrir and Austin Saenz drove in three runs apiece in a 10-4 win in Houston on April 28.

The Huskies return home to face Stephen F. Austin in a three-game Southland Conference series Friday through Sunday at Husky Field.
