RENO, Nev. - Nevada (3-3) heads west for four games on the road beginning with this weekend's three-game series at UC Davis.

Games Friday and Saturday are each set for a 6 p.m. first pitch, with Sunday's finale scheduled for a 1 p.m. start.

Following Sunday's game, the Wolf Pack will bus to Stanford where it will take on the Cardinal Monday at 1:05 p.m.

Nevada fans can listen to the audio broadcast of all four games on The Varsity Network with Wolf Pack Baseball alumnus Zak Basch on the call. Live stream information for the weekend series in Davis remains to be announced, while Monday's game at Stanford will be streamed on ACC Network Extra through the ESPN app.

ABOUT UC DAVIS
UC Davis (3-5) took two of three at home against Santa Clara last weekend before suffering a 7-2 loss at California Wednesday night.

The Aggies are batting just .184 over its first eight games, with Evan Gential the only player over .300 as he has a .333 mark. Gentil is one of six Aggie batters with one homer and one of four with five RBIs. Ryan Lee, also with a homer and five RBIs, is batting .269.

On the hill, Saturday starter Keenan Anzai is 2-0 and will make his first start of the campaign. Friday starter Noel Valdez is 0-1 with a 5.00 ERA and seven strikeouts over nine innings, while closer Rowen Barnes has already picked up two saves.

AGAINST THE AGGIES & CARDINAL
Nevada leads the all-time series with UC Davis, 53-38, although the Aggies took both meetings last season--a 3-1 win in Davis and a 12-6 victory in Reno.

This weekend's three-game series with UC Davis will be the first since 1990--wild to think about, considering the schools are just 148 miles apart, roughly a two-and-a-half hour drive.

The Wolf Pack are 8-21 overall against Stanford, with the last meeting coming in 2015, a 6-5 win for the Cardinal.
