Baseball
Savannah State had quite the memorable week last week on the baseball diamond. After completing their three-game SIAC sweep of Kentucky State last Monday, the Tigers sent shockwaves throughout the baseball world, knocking off the defending back-to-back NCAA Divison II National Champion Tampa Spartans last Tuesday afternoon. SSU then went to Atlanta and took two of three from Morehouse last weekend.  The Good Guys will look to keep the roll going as they head to Albany to battle the defending SIAC Champion Albany State Golden Rams in a three-game series. The action begins on Friday afternoon with a doubleheader at 2:00pm & 5:00pm, then concludes on Saturday afternoon at 12:00pm.
