Sanders is also tied for second in the GSC with seven doubles and ranks in the top-10 with 24 hits.
BASES FULL

UAH has also done a good job of hitting with runners in scoring position as the Chargers are hitting .290 when runners are on second or third.
About West Florida
The 2nd-ranked West Florida Argonauts visit Charger Park as one of the best teams in the nation with a 16-2 record overall and have yet to lose in conference while at 11-0 in the GSC. UWF is currently on a 12-game winning streak with the two losses coming in a 10-4 setback to Rollins and 2-1 15-inning marathon at Florida Southern earlier this season.
Austin Southhall leads the UWF offense with a .339 batting average at the plate with 14 RBI and three doubles while Jeremy Badjaun is leading the team with 16 RBI, two home runs and a triple.
