The Chargers enter the weekend with just one contest in the books as they defeated Young Harris 7-1 on a rain-shortened opening day on Sunday.
 
UAH's 3-4-5 positions in the lineup were particularly impressive in the contest as the trio of Macie Couey, Mary Kelley, and Kaitlyn Bannister combined to go 6-for-9 at the plate while driving in all seven runs for the Chargers.
 
Head coach Les Stuedeman was able to use three of her pitchers in the contest as starter Whitney Toler scattered five hits over 3.1 innings, Tyler Harrison gave up only one hit and a run in 1.2 innings of work, and Kimberly Jack completed the game with a scoreless pair of innings.
