Harrogate, TN  - There are few things in sports that rival opening day in baseball. The Lincoln Memorial baseball team is gearing up for its season opener on Friday in Dahlonega, GA at North Georgia University. Last season, the Railsplitters racked up a 33-17 overall record with a 19-12 mark in conference play. Lincoln Memorial defeated Tusculum in the first game of the SAC Tournament before defeating the top-seeded Catawba Indians in back-to-back games, earning a berth in the SAC Tournament Championship game.

Three Railsplitters were named preseason all conference ahead of the 2025 season. Outfielder Chris Hall, third baseman Kasten Harvey, and RHP Christian Pencek were all named SAC Preseason First Team All-Conference. Lincoln Memorial was tabbed third in the conference in SAC Preseason polls.

The last time the Railsplitters and Nighthawks met was in 2023, with North Georgia taking a 6-2 decision in Dahlonega. Lincoln Memorial opened the 2024 season winning 13 of its first 16 games. The Railsplitters will be looking to replicate that start for the 2025 season. Lincoln Memorial will play North Georgia four times over the weekend with game one slated for Friday at 6 PM. The Railsplitters and Nighthawks will play a double-header on Saturday at 1 PM and 5 PM, followed by one final game on Sunday at 1 PM.
