AT A GLANCE: WOU opens GNAC play against the preseason favorite Northwest Nazarene this week.

On the mound, reliever Shane Bailey owns a team-best 1.04 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 8.2 innings pitched (the second most on the team) with four strikeouts. Devin Bell has been solid in his two starts with a 3.72 ERA with a team-best nine strikeouts in 9.2 innings of work.

The Nighthawks enter GNAC play at 11-7 after splitting a four-game home series with No. 24 Colorado Mesa. Bryan Rojas leads the team in hitting at .371 with three homers, 10 doubles and 14 RBI while Nin Burns II is hitting with .323 with four homers, three doubles, 20 RBI and six stolen bases. On the mound, Cole Calnon has led the way for NNU as he's 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 22 innings (including two complete games) while Ernesto Lugo-Canchola is also 3-0 with a 3.32 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 21.2 innings of work.
