Junior righthander Rob Orloski will start on the mound Friday afternoon in the season-opener for the UTSA Roadrunners baseball team, coach Pat Hallmark announced Monday afternoon.

UTSA, coming off a season featuring a school-record 47 wins and a run to the NCAA Super Regionals, is set to host three games from Friday through Sunday against the South Dakota State Jackrabbits.

Connor Kelley will start on Saturday and Kendall Dove will get the ball on Sunday, Hallmark told reporters on a zoom call.

Orloski emerged as a program mainstay and a first-team, all conference pitcher last season in the team’s stopper role.

Coming out of the bullpen, he finished with an 8-0 record, a team-leading nine saves and a 3.36 earned run average.
