UP NEXT
The Aggies host Dallas Baptist in a three-game series at Olsen Field, beginning on Thursday before wrapping up on Saturday.

NOTES AND NOTABLES
• Sophomore outfielder Tyler Naquin brings a career-long 20-game hitting streak into the UTSA game. The run is the longest hitting streak by a Big 12 player this season and ranks seventh all-time by an Aggie, alongside Cliff Pennington, who also enjoyed a 20-game hitting streak in 2004.

• Despite losing their first weekend series of the year at Missouri over the weekend, the Aggies still share the top spot in the Big 12 standings with Texas heading into the regular season's home stretch. Both squads have a common opponent in Nebraska (Texas travels to Lincoln this weekend and the Aggies host the Cornhuskers May 13-15) before the two team face off in a three-game series May 19-21.

• Senior shortstop Kenny Jackson is the only Aggie to have played every inning at his position this season. Jackson had shared the distinction with first baseman Jacob House, who was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning of April 22's game against Oklahoma State.

• On April 18 it was announced that sophomore pitcher Michael Wacha was named to the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team for the upcoming summer. He becomes the first Aggie to represent the red, white and blue on the baseball diamond since Daylon Holt in 1999.
