Albany, GA – The Albany State Golden Rams are set to continue their strong start to SIAC play, hosting Lane College in a three-game conference series at West Campus Baseball Field this weekend. The series opens with a Saturday doubleheader beginning at 1:00 PM, followed by Game 2 immediately after, and will conclude with a Sunday showdown at 11:00 AM.
 
Coach Scot Hemmings and his squad are riding high, coming off a come-from-behind 7-5 victory over Quincy University on Tuesday, February 18. The Golden Rams showcased their resilience and offensive firepower, staging a sixth-inning comeback to keep their winning streak alive. Now, they shift their focus back to SIAC competition, where they are looking to remain dominant after a 3-0 series sweep over Tuskegee last weekend.
 
With momentum on their side, ASU aims to defend their home field and build upon their early-season success.
 
Lane College enters the series still searching for its first win of the season, following a loss to Union University on February 18. The Dragons will be eager to turn things around in conference play, but history favors the Golden Rams in this matchup.
 
Albany State holds a commanding 14-1 series lead over Lane College dating back to 2018. The two teams last met on March 2-3, 2024, where ASU took a 2-1 series victory. Lane's only win against Albany State came in 2023, meaning the Golden Rams will look to maintain their dominance and prevent the Dragons from gaining any momentum.
 
Key Players to Watch

• Matt Delay (ASU) – The power hitter played a crucial role in last weekend's sweep over Tuskegee and delivered clutch hits against Quincy. His ability to drive in runs will be key to Albany State's offensive success.
• Calvin Baker (ASU) – The Golden Rams' reliable closer has already secured multiple saves this season. If ASU has a late lead, expect Baker to take the mound and shut things down.
• Austin Roberts (ASU) – Coming off a 3-for-4 performance against Quincy, Roberts will look to keep his hot bat going in this key conference matchup.
