SAVANNAH, Ga. – Savannah State baseball opens a three-game home series with Salem University today on Tiger Field. The Tigers will play two 7-inning games today and one 9-inning game on Friday. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. on both days.

Newcomer Jose Santiago will start in game one today with veteran righthander Enrico Peele starting game two. Santiago has a 0.00 ERA and one pitching win after throwing 6.0 innings against Bryant & Stratton. Peele had a rough start to the season in the last home series. He pitched 2.0 innings, allowing two earned runs on one hit with five walks and one strikeout.
 
In relief, Rahmir Vaughn, Solomon Masters, Matthew Terrill and Jackson Hickox will see time on the mound in this week's series. Hickox has been a strong reliever for the Tigers, pitching 4.1 innings and allowing no earned runs on two hits with three strikeouts.
