UNC will attempt to get off the schneid and pickup up their first WAC victory this weekend at Utah Valley. The Wolverines are 16-14 (3-3 in the WAC) and defeated Utah yesterday. The Bears bring a 5-20 (0-3 WAC) record into the series. UNC dropped their 5th straight game yesterday, losing to Air Force 14-4 in Greeley.

Utah Valley is batting .276 as a team with a 5.35 team ERA. Their offense is led by Mark Krueger (.354 average, 3 HR, 19 RBI) and Greysen Bodgen (.323 average, 3 HR, 15 RBI). They have committed 38 errors (the Bears have 31 errors in 2016).

It is not hard to decipher where UNC is falling short statistically compared to 2015:

2015 (full season)
.277 batting average 4.95 runs scored per game 6.50 team ERA
2016 (thus far)
.219 batting average 3.44 runs scored per game 6.62 team ERA

Clearly, offensive run production has got to increase for the Bears to start winning. Hopefully the bats will get hot this weekend!
 
Bears win!

After taking a hard fought 4-2 loss on Friday, UNC showed they still had a lot of fight in them on Saturday as they came back from a 7-2 deficit against Utah Valley to take a short lived 8-7 lead. The Wolverines tied the game and then won it in the bottom of the 9th with a 3 run walk off homer. On Sunday, the Bears could have easily folded their tents and given up as they fell behind early 3-0 but fought back. The game ended up in extra innings with UNC at last prevailing 8-6 in 12 innings.

UNC is now 6-22 and 1-5 in the WAC. They finally get a home conference series this coming weekend against CSU Bakersfield.
