Texas A&M International University will make the short trip to San Antonio this weekend to take on Heartland Conference perennial power St. Mary's in a three-game series at V.J. Keefe Memorial Stadium. The Dustdevils and Rattlers will play a doubleheader on Friday and a single game on Saturday with first pitch scheduled for noon each day.

St. Mary's (18-7, 15-4 Heartland) enters play this weekend in second place in the Heartland Conference standings, one and a half games ahead of St. Edward's. The Rattlers have won nine of their last 11 games overall and eight of their last nine conference games.

TAMIU (10-17, 9-13 Heartland) is in fifth place in the conference standings after dropping three of four games to St. Edward's last weekend.
