About the Warhawks
AUM comes into play against Kentucky State with lots of confidence after taking two of three against Montevallo on the road and taking care of business against Delta State.
The long ball has been an important part of the team's early success in 2020. Led by
Kendall Tucker (6) and
Molly Cobb (5), the Warhawks have 19 home runs this season which is third best in the Gulf South Conference.
The Warhawks' pitching has been on the rise after a few weekends of conference play as
Alanna Goble continues to be a cheat code in the circle for AUM. The freshman has seven wins on the year with a league-leading and miniscule 1.02 ERA.
Lauren Haskins had herself a great weekend of conference action against the Lady Statesmen. The freshman utility player hit .500 against Delta State with two extra-base hits and two RBIs.
Scouting the competition
Kentucky State has netted three wins in 10 tries to start their 2020 season. The Thorobreds were able to defeat a trio of opponents in an early-season tournament in South Carolina but have since lost two-straight to Tuskegee to open league play.
No. 25 UAH, meanwhile, have been on an absolute tear to start their season. Picked to finish second in the GSC by the coaches in the preseason polls, the Chargers have won six-consecutive games and sit in second in the league with a 9-2 mark.
The Chargers will play four games in the midweek leading up to the showdown in Montgomery. UAH will face off against Tuskegee for two games, then play World Series-finalist Young Harris in a doubleheader in Huntsville.
