Around the Horn

• Omaha was supposed to play Creighton on Tuesday, but due to weather it was rescheduled to April 4 at 5:30 p.m.
• After dropping the first two games of the series against BYU, the Mavericks improved to 3-8 after a massive 16-4 victory in the seven-inning series finale. Due to the Mavericks having to travel home that day, both teams decided ahead of the game to end it if either one had a 10-run lead by the seventh.
• Those 16 runs and 17 hits were both the most the Mavericks have put up in a single game since February 19, 2022 at San Jose State (15 runs, 19 hits).
• Omaha nearly won the first game of the series as well, erasing a six-run deficit to tie it up at 11-11 and force extra innings. 
• Omaha scored 31 runs during their series at BYU, almost doubling their total run production through their first eight games this season. 
• The Mavericks recorded 13 doubles in the BYU series, knocking six each in the first and last games. Overall, the team had 16 XBH. Haiden Hunt, Eddie Satisky, Mike Boeve, Brennen Bales, and Eduardo Rosario all had two doubles during the series.
• Boeve increased his batting average .487 on the year and also extended his hitting streak to 11 games to start the season. This is now the second longest streak of his career. His two doubles in the series give him 45 in his career, tied for the fifth most ever by a Maverick. 
• Rosario had a standout performance on Saturday, notching a career-high seven RBIs, the most by any Maverick since Chris Esposito against Mizzou back on February 27, 2021. He leads the Mavericks with three home runs this year, having launched two during the series.
• Rosario (eight), Boeve (seven), and Satisky (six) combined for 21 of Omaha's 31 total runs during the series. Satisky and Boeve also came around to score six runs each, followed by Hunt and Bales with five runs apiece.
• On the mound, Luke Gainer struck out three batters in his lone outing at BYU, giving him three in all four of his appearances this season.
• Caleb Riedel struck out eight batters in the first game one. This is tied for the second most strikeouts he has ever recorded in a single game.
