UNO (9-10) has dropped its last two games, falling narrowly on the road to Alabama-Huntsville 6-3 last Sunday and at Nicholls by a 6-4 result on Tuesday.

UNO has tallied at least 10 hits in four of its last five games, a feat it accomplished just four times in the first 14 contests of the season.
Brandon Simon is hitting .421 during the five-game stretch, leading a group of four Privateers hitting at least .333 during the time frame.

Clint Coleman (.302) with batting averages over .300.
UNO's weekend rotation last week at UAH consisted of right-handed pitchers
Christian Cale (3-0, 3.82 ERA) and
Cory Myers (1-0, 6.75) alongside southpaw
Stone Speer (1-3, 5.96). Fellow weekend regular
Jake Fabre (3-3, 3.75) started Tuesday at NSU.
UWG has won two of their last six games, falling to NAIA member Reinhardt 13-2 in their most recent contest.
Evan Hester is hitting .370 with 19 runs, 11 doubles and 22 RBIs to lead the Wolves. UWG's Galen Smith, who played with UNO's Perkins at Cleveland State last season, is second on the squad with a .359 average.
Weekend starters for UWG consist of Cody Skinner (4-1, 2.43 ERA), Seth McClure (2-1, 2.87) and Max Aeschlimann (3-3, 3.53). All three are right-handed pitchers.
Monday's opponent SHC is 13-15 entering a weekend series against Belhaven. The Badgers already own a 15-6 win against the Privateers on Feb. 28.
SHC is led offensively by Brian Sims and Andy Robbins with .361 and .323 batting averages, respectively. In the previous outing against UNO, the Badgers started Mandeville, La. native Daniel Pitfield (2-1, 3.96 ERA).
