Eagles Rally from 6-1 Deficit to Take the Series Opener

Hennon Interview

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Georgia Southern baseball team rallied from a 6-1 deficit to take the series opener 10-8 over the UALR Trojans at Gary Hogan Field. 

The Trojans (14-20, 10-8) scored six runs over the first three innings and struck for five unearned runs off of Eagle (22-16, 12-7) starter Evan Challenger in the second inning.

GS scored four runs over the fourth and fifth innings and tied the game in the eighth inning, 6-6, before Ryan Cleveland hit a three run pinch-hit homer to give the Eagles a 9-6 lead. Cleveland went the other way for his fifth long ball of the season. 

Jason Richman allowed two runs – one earned – over 4.1 innings to pick up his fourth win of the season. Richman (4-0) took over for Challenger in the fourth inning and struck out a pair.

Chris Brown entered in the eighth inning and recorded the final five outs to record his eighth save of the season. Brown (8) walked two and struck out three batters.

Jarrid Garcia took the loss after allowing seven runs on eight hits. Garcia (1-2) struck out 11 batters over 7.1 innings but seven of his 9 base runners crossed the plate.

UALR took advantage of two throwing errors on a pair of bunts and four hits to score five runs in the second inning. Mitchell Scheuler hit a one-out double in the third inning to extend the lead to 6-1. 

GS started the rally from there, scoring three runs in the fourth inning and a single run in the fifth inning to cut the lead to 6-5. 

Chase Griffin homered to lead off the fourth inning, and C.J. Brazil delivered a two run two-out double to cap off a three-run inning.

Aaron Mizell added his 11th long ball of the season in the fifth inning.

The series continues tomorrow at 3 p.m. eastern time. Senior righthander Tripp Sheppard (4-2, 2.55 ERA) will take the mound and will face righthander Cory Malcom (4-2, 4.02 ERA).
