Following CALIFORNIA's win over STANFORD in a non-conference tilt on Tuesday, conference play officially gets underway this weekend.
The conference series with the best combined record features UTAH (9-3) visiting WASHINGTON STATE (7-4). This will mark the first Pac-12 series for new Cougars skipper
Nathan Choate
who's seen a solid offensive output so far this season, led by catcher
Jacob Morrow
's league-leading .520 batting average. The Utes, who have not lost a series to Washington State since 2014, lead the conference in ERA at 2.88, good for 10th in the country. 8 different Utah pitches have a win this season, with
Colter McAnelly
the only Ute with multiple wins.
OREGON takes a 3-game winning streak into the desert to take on ARIZONA STATE. The Ducks offense has gotten a nice boost so far this season from a pair of transfers in
Jeffrey Heard
and
Justin Cassella
who have combined for 5 home runs and 26 RBI.
Thomas Burns
, the Sun Devils Friday night starter, has struck out at least 6 batters in all 3 of his starts despite yet going longer than 5.0 innings in any of those outings.
UCLA heads up the coast to take on a CALIFORNIA squad that has hit 20 home runs in just 10 games so far this season. Golden Bear sluggers
Caleb Lomavita
(5) and
Rodney Green Jr.
(4) are the only pair of Pac-12 teammates with 4 or more home runs so far this season. The Bruins have won 6 of their last 8 weekend series against Cal but
Mike Neu
's squad swept a road series at UCLA last May despite
Jack Holman
homering in all 3 games.
2-time defending regular season champion STANFORD officially opens up conference play on the road at WASHINGTON. The Cardinal have won 5 of 6 since a 1-5 start as the pitching has settled down including a Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week award for
Christian Lim
after striking out 10 over 6 shutout innings at Rice. The Huskies are the only team in the country this season to have played multiple games that have gone 15 innings or longer.
After facing 3 ranked opponents in Texas last weekend, ARIZONA heads to Los Angeles for a 3-game set with USC. Wildcat standouts so far include
Cam Walty
who is one of two Pac-12 pitchers with 3 wins so far this season while
Mason White
who leads the conference with 19 RBI and has homered in 5 of his last 8 games. Trojan pitchers meanwhile have racked up a Pac-12 leading 135 strikeouts in just 107.1 innings with
Mason Edwards
(18 K in 11.2 IP) leading 7 USC hurlers with 10+ K so far.
#5 OREGON STATE is the lone Pac-12 squad in non-conference play this weekend as they host CSUN for a 4-game series, their first meeting since 2005. The Beavers have won 6 straight and have scored double digit runs in 7 of 12 games this season.
Travis Bazzana
