Midweek Matchups: Islanders travel to UTRGV, host UMass

EDINBURG, Texas -- The Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi baseball program (11-6-0, 2-1 Southland) takes a quick break from conference action with a pair of midweek matchups, initially traveling south for a Tuesday evening contest at rival UT-Rio Grande Valley (11-5-0, 0-0 WAC) in the opening round of the South Texas Showdown, presented by NavyArmy Community Credit Union. Another strong weekend at the plate has pushed this high-octane Islanders offense into the national spotlight, as the team currently ranks second overall amongst the 297 Division I programs in total hits (193) as well as fifth in team batting average (.324 BA). Individually, junior Itchy Burts continues to act as a critical cog within the Blue & Green batting order, posting a team-best 26 hits on the season thus far, good for 15th nationally and first in the Southland.
