SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah baseball team hosts its first Pac-12 series against No. 21 California, opening the three-game series on Friday, March 27, at 6:00 p.m. MT. The series continues on Saturday, March 28, at 5:00 p.m. MT and Sunday, March 29, at 3:00 p.m. MT.
All three games will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks with Roxy Bernstein and Randy Flores calling the action.

Utah continues its season-long baseball card promotion, with the first 250 fans in attendance on Friday receiving a Wyler Smith baseball card, with Josh Rose and Nolan Stouder featured on Saturday and Tag Baxter and C.J. Santoyo on Sunday.
The Utes (8-15, 2-3 Pac-12) are coming off a 9-3 win in a rain-shortened game against in-state rival BYU.
Utah has played two Pac-12 series this year, winning the series against Arizona, 2-1, and dropping three games against ninth-ranked UCLA last weekend. The Utes rank third in the Pac-12 in stolen bases (30). Dallas Carroll and Cody Scaggari are ranked first and second, respectively, in the conference as the toughest to strike out. Carroll is averaging one strikeout per every 15.6 at bats.
California, which moved into the rankings of most of the major polls for the first time this week, is tied for the league lead with a 5-1 record (18-5 overall). The Golden Bears lead the league in home runs (23) and rank second in the Pac-12 in earned run average (2.45).
"Cal has gotten off to a great start," Utah head coach Bill Kinneberg said. "They are always a good fundamental ball club."
