The UAH baseball games are scheduled to be played on campus for the first time in the program's history this season. However, the home opener is on hold for the moment due to construction at the field. Finishing touches are still in progress and for safety reasons the first round of home games will be played at Calhoun College in Decatur, Ala. The home opening series vs. Missouri Western on Feb. 13 and 14 will have first pitch at 11 a.m. on both days. The Chargers-Arkansas Tech doubleheader on Tuesday, Feb. 16 will also be played in Decatur at 11 a.m. The Chargers hope to crack the seal on the on-campus facility on Feb. 27 and 28 when they host Stillman College.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- It is with great sadness that the Alabama-Huntsville athletics department announces that former Charger baseball standout pitcher Matt Jansen was killed in a tragic accident while hunting in his home state of Texas on Sunday morning.
"Matt's death has shaken the entire UAH Baseball family," said UAH head coach Lowell Mooneyham. "Matt Jansen was a great teammate, friend and even greater person. We will be there for the family during this tragic time. He will be dearly missed by all that knew him and our prayers go out to his entire family."
A former All-Region, All-Conference and Academic All-America, Jansen married his college sweetheart, former UAH volleyballer Whitney Mock, and the couple recently had their first daughter, Avery.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Whitney, Avery and all of Matt's family," noted director of athletics Jim Harris. "Matt was a tremendous student-athlete in every sense of the word here at UAH. He set a high standard of excellence both on the field and in the classroom that all of our athletes should strive to attain."
Possessing what most consider the best changeup in the history of the UAH baseball program, Jansen, 30, helped lead the Chargers to three NCAA regional appearances and a Gulf South Conference crown in 2001. Among the leaders in a number of statistical categories, Jansen owns one of two no hitters in school history having thrown his gem in 2000 against GSC foe West Georgia.
