HUNTSVILLE, Ala. | Baseball returns to Charger Park this weekend to host Trevecca Nazarene in a three-game Gulf South Conference series that will serve as the final home stand of the regular season.

The series will begin with a doubleheader on Friday, with first pitch for Game 1 scheduled for 2 p.m., followed by Game 2 approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the opener. The series finale is set for Saturday at 11 a.m., with Senior Day festivities taking place prior to first pitch.

Caleb Mahan continues to swing a consistent bat, ranking eighth in the GSC with a .370 average, while CJ Carson has been a steady presence at the plate, ranking fourth in the conference with 30 walks.

As a team, UAH remains one of the most productive offensive units in the GSC. The Chargers are hitting .314, the second-best team average in the league, while also ranking second in runs scored (324). UAH has struck out just 243 times, the second-fewest in the conference, and ranks third in stolen bases with 70.
