Series Notes

HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i Rainbow baseball team continues its road trip this week with a trip to Fresno State and Long Beach State. UH will play the Bulldogs for one game on Tuesday, May 7 (6:35 p.m. PT, 3:35 p.m. HT) then close the trip with three Big West Conference games against the Dirtbags on Friday, May 10 (6:00 p.m. PT, 3:00 p.m. HT), Saturday, May 11 (2:00 p.m. PT, 11:00 a.m. HT), and Sunday, May 12 (1:00 p.m. PT, 10:00 a.m. HT).

The 'Bows won their second Big West series and first on the road after taking two of three games this past weekend at Pacific. Hawai'i (11-30, 6-12 BWC) would have completed its first series sweep of the season if not for a ninth-inning rally by the Tigers in Sunday's series finale loss.

First baseman Marc Flores had a stellar weekend at the plate. He batted .667 (6-9) in the series while adding four runs and belting his second homerun of the season, a solo shot in game two. Third baseman Pi'ikea Kitamura also went yard in the second game of the series, helping UH complete its comeback with an RBI hit in the ninth inning.

UH and Fresno State will play each other for the first time not as members of the Western Athletic Conference. Both the Rainbows and Bulldogs left the WAC last season with UH joining the Big West and Fresno State going to the Mountain West. The Bulldogs enter the week 16-29 overall and 10-14 in conference.

Long Beach State stands at 21-24 overall and is fifth in the Big West at 9-9, three games up on Hawai'i. The 'Bows played at Long Beach State as recently as 2011 where the Dirtbags won the lone meeting, 4-3.
