Simbeck registered homers against Tuskegee and in the finale against UWG, while Brock had his first multi-home run game of the season with two in the opener against the Wolves. Overall, the Chargers are first in the conference with 11 homers and second with a .555 slugging percentage.
 
EFFICIENT RELIEF: Senior Luke Mould improved to 2-0 on the season and added his first save of the 2014-15 campaign this past weekend, as he keyed wins in the opener and finale against UWG. Overall on the weekend, Mould worked 3.1 innings with four strikeouts while not allowing a single baserunner. This season, the right-hander has not allowed a hit, run or walk in 5.1 innings pitched.
 
LEADING THE WAY: UAH leadoff man and senior Cody Burton is off to a hot start in the 2015 season, batting .450 through seven games with a .613 on-base percentage. This past week, Burton was exceptional batting .538 (7-for-13) with six runs, two RBI, two walks, one double, two triples and one homer. Burton is fourth in the GSC in on-base percentage and second in slugging percentage (.900).

FLAMES PROFILE: Lee comes into the weekend with a 9-0 record and 3-0 record in the GSC after most recently sweeping Union in a three-game series in Cleveland, Tennessee by scores of 2-0, 3-2, and 3-1. The Flames pitching staff has excelled at the outset of the 2015 season, compiling a team ERA of 1.01. Offensively, Lee boasts five regulars batting above .500 led by Andres Nelo who is batting .385 with five extra-base hits and 10 runs scored.
