DAHLONEGA - The University of North Georgia baseball team returns home to the friendly confines of Bob Stein Stadium at Lynn Cottrell Park this weekend to host a three game Peach Belt Conference series against Augusta starting Friday night. The two teams will finish out the series on Saturday with a doubleheader.
The Nighthawks are coming off back-to-back weekends of taking just a single game of the conference three game sets with last weekend being at Georgia Southwestern. UNG sits at 10-5 on the year having only played PBC opponents to date.
The Jaguars are 2-6 on the year, just having walked off Emmanuel in non-conference action. AU is 1-5 in league play with the lone win coming in extras against Flagler in their conference opener.
UNG Athletics will continue to offer complimentary admission to baseball, softball and soccer but will limit venue capacity at each facility based on available socially distant spaces. Admission to events will be capped when all marked seating in the bleachers and common areas for standing/chairs is occupied. UNG adjusted the seating configuration to adhere to social distancing guidelines in all facilities, with Nighthawks Athletic Club members (All-Region level or higher) and UNG students having top priority in the process. Rows, seats and common viewing areas are marked to maintain six feet of separation between attendees, who are not members of the same party.
To promote and prioritize the health and safety of student-athletes, coaches and game day personnel, fans will not be allowed to stand against the perimeter fence of each field/court to include the foul lines at baseball and softball and the stadium sideline at soccer. All policies are subject to change in accordance with national, state and local guidelines. Masks/face coverings are required for entry into the facility and must be worn at all times while inside the facility unless actively eating or drinking. Any individual who does not comply with this policy will be asked to leave the facility. The concessions stand will feature a reduced menu of pre-packaged items. Aramark Catering will accept both cash and credit cards.
Fans unable to attend in person can watch the action live and on-demand courtesy of the Nighthawk Sports Network.
