Schedule at PG Park South at
LakePoint
EMERSON,
Ga. – Twenty-nine home games highlight Georgia Highland’s 2015
baseball schedule. All home games will be played at PG Park South
located on the beautiful South Campus of LakePoint sports; a
state-of-the-art all-turf facility.
“With
this baseball facility, we will be able to confidently recruit top
prospects and contend for championships in a first-rate environment,”
Georgia Highlands Head Coach Mike Marra said. “For Charger fans,
the LakePoint Facility will provide a comfortable and convenient
setting to enjoy the excitement of the game. This world class venue
will also enable us to host top programs from all over the nation as
well as NJCAA tournaments, bringing national prestige and recognition
to our programs right here to Bartow County."
The
Chargers will begin practicing at their new home come January.
PG
Spring Swing Director Kevin Herlihy also spoke on the announcement.
“As
Perfect Game continues to expand into college baseball this was the
perfect opportunity for us. Partnering with Coach Marra and Georgia
Highlands is good for the community and good for baseball. Coach
Marra has a great track record of building programs from scratch; we
see Georgia Highlands being no different. I think we have the chance
to be part of something special.”
The
second year program opens play at LakePoint with doubleheader against
Roane State on February 7. Georgia Highlands will play single games
against Cleveland State and Piedmont (Feb 10-11), Chattanooga State
