The Panthers currently sport a 1-3 record on the young season.
Their first opponent will be the Northern Kentucky Norse on Saturday at 3:00 P.M.
This will be the first game of the season for the Norse and sophomore outfielder Kaylin Steinmetz, who batted .323 for Northern Kentucky in 2012.
Sophomore Callie Alford has a .300 batting average for the Panthers on the young season.
Georgia State will face the Presbyterian College Blue Hose in the second of two Saturday games, with a tentative 5:30 P.M. first pitch.
