Georgia Highlands baseball swept a conference doubleheader on Friday at Andrew College, winning 9-8 and 10-2.

The Chargers led 4-1 through two innings in the opener, but the Tigers knotted the score at 4-4 in the bottom of the fourth.  From there, GHC posted three runs in the fifth inning and two in the sixth to take a 9-5 lead.

Game 2 was a much easier win for the Chargers.

Kaiden Krak (5 IP, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 8K) was the GHC starting pitcher, and Nickolaus Kane (2 IP, 1ER, 2H, 1BB, 3K) closed the final two innings.

Kenskey Thomas had four hits in the doubleheader, including a home run, one double, and four RBI.
