MONTGOMERY, Ala. | Alabama State looks to get back on track after falling in a Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) series over the weekend, facing Samford Wednesday night at the Wheeler-Watkins Baseball Complex.

First pitch is scheduled for 6 pm, and due to COVID-19 protocols only those listed on the player pass list will be admitted into the venue due to socially distant seating. Alabama State is a mask mandatory campus, as are each of the athletic venues.

Alabama State (1-8) and Samford met earlier this season in Birmingham, with Alabama State coming away with an 11-9 win after picking up nine of their runs with two outs in the contest. Since that point, however, the Hornets have dropped five straight contests at home all by one run.

Trenton Jamison and Cristopher DeGuzman lead Alabama State at the plate, each hitting .333 through the first nine games of the season. The two have combined for 23 hits (Jamison 12, DeGuzman 11), while DeGuzman has recorded three doubles and a pair of triples. Meanwhile, Jamison has recorded a double and a pair of home runs.

Payton Harris leads the pitching staff, not allowing a run through 9.1 innings of relief. He has allowed one hit and struck out 11, while walking just one and recording a save.
