QUOTABLES
Head Coach Rodney Hennon
"We got a good effort from Challenger in game one. We were able to get into their bullpen and did some good things offensively while playing a pretty clean game defensively. In game two we got a great effort from Chase Cohen. He did a great job and outlasted their starter. Their guy threw the ball well and we had some opportunities that we didn't capitalize on. We've got to pick ourselves up and play well on Sunday."

GAME ONE
GS 13 – ULM 1
Georgia Southern rattled off 13 unanswered runs en route to a 13-1 win in game one of the series against UL Monroe. Logan Baldwin went 4-for-5 with four runs to pace the Eagle offense. Ryan Cleveland drove in three runs while going 2-for-4. Jordan Wren was 2-for-5 in the game as well as the Eagles posted 14 hits.

Evan Challenger got the start and went 6.2 innings, fanning five while allowing seven hits. He picked up his first win in a month to improve to 5-3 on the year. Junior C.J. Brazil helped the cause by hitting his second home run of the season, a solo job off a 1-1 pitch with one out in the fifth.

GAME TWO
GS 1 – ULM 2
ULM grabbed the lead in the fifth with a runner on first and one out. A single to center moved the runner around to third, but an errant throw allowed the run to score and give the home side a 1-0 lead. Georgia Southern evened the game in the sixth with Jordan Wren's triple to the gap in left. The hit broke up ULM's no hitter bid, but the relay throw to third flied the third baseman and went into the Eagle dugout, sending Wren home.

In the eighth, ULM took advantage of a leadoff walk, moving him into scoring position with some small ball. A single up the middle with two outs was enough to score the go-ahead run. Georgia Southern got a leadoff single from Cal Baker and moved him along with a sacrifice bunt from Kent Rollins. Two strikeouts, however, against pinch hitters CJ Brazil and Will Hudgins ended the game and evened the series at 1-1.

Chase Cohen went seven plus innings and scattered three hits while allowing an unearned run. He struck out six batters. ULM's Brayden Bouchey worked six innings allowing one hit with 12 of the Warhawks' 15 strikeouts for a no decision.
