The Citadel Edges Eagles in Homestand Finale

Coach Hennon Interview
STATESBORO, Ga. – J.P. Sears tossed five scoreless frames as The Citadel Bulldogs won the finale of an eight-game homestand 3-2.
The Citadel (4-4) jumped out to an early lead on a bases loaded walk in the second inning and the first career home run from Stephen Windham in the third.
Sears (2-1) held Georgia Southern (5-3) to three hits and struck out five batters in his first career start.
Skylar Hunter held the Eagles scoreless over the final two frames and struck out two batters for his third save of the season.
"Josh [Slate] competed for us and did a good job getting ahead but just didn't put some guys away. The combination of that and the mistakes running the bases really hurt us tonight," Head Coach Rodney Hennon said.
The Eagle bullpen tossed seven scoreless frames and kept the game within a run the final two innings. Jason Richman struck out seven batters and did not allow a run over the final 3.1 innings.
Josh Slate made his first career start and suffered the loss. Slate (0-1) allowed three runs and struck out five batters over three innings.
The Eagles scored both runs in the seventh inning. Dalton Busby reached base on a two-out error while Hunter Thomas scored from third base. Kody Adams plated Busby two batters later with a base hit up the middle.
GS finished with seven hits, three of which came off the bat of Spencer Duffie. Duffie recorded three singles in his final three at-bats.
The Eagles will leave J.I. Clements Stadium for the first time in 2015 and will travel to Jacksonville, Fla. Wednesday to take on the North Florida Ospreys. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.
