FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.\u00a0\u2013 The UT Arlington Mavericks hit the road this weekend for a three-game non-conference series against No. 6 ranked Arkansas at Baum-Walker Stadium. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. as UTA looks to build momentum against another nationally ranked opponent.<\/p>\n
The matchup marks UTA’s second game this season against a top-10 opponent after the Mavericks knocked off then-No. 7 TCU, 11\u20138, earlier this month at Globe Life Field. UTA will aim to replicate that early offensive energy while tightening up defensively in a challenging road environment.<\/p>\n

\n\tUT Arlington enters the weekend with a quiet confidence after securing the program’s highest-ranked win since 2018 just ten days prior to their first game against the Razorbacks.
\n\tThrough seven games, redshirt junior catcher\u00a0Zach Mazoch<\/a>\u00a0continues to anchor the lineup, hitting above .400 with multiple multi-hit performances and team-leading extra-base production.
\n\tSenior infielder\u00a0Xavier Melendez<\/a>\u00a0has provided consistency in the middle of the order, reaching base at a steady clip while driving in key runs in recent contests.
\n\tUTA is averaging over four runs per game and has shown the ability to produce in big innings, highlighted by a nine-run first inning against TCU earlier this season.
\n\tOn the mound, the Mavericks have received steady outings from their weekend rotation, with the bullpen continuing to develop defined late-inning roles. Limiting free passes and defensive miscues will be critical against an Arkansas lineup that capitalizes on extra opportunities.
\n\tArkansas enters the series ranked No. 6 nationally and unbeaten at home, presenting one of the toughest road tests on UTA’s 2026 schedule.
