STATESBORO, GA. - Georgia Southern Baseball closed out its midweek series with The Citadel on Wednesday night with a 1-0 win. The Eagles posted their fourth-straight win over the Bulldogs and improved to 12-9 on the year with the win. Cameron Hankins bagged the game-winning RBI with a  bloop single to left in the fourth which plated Mason McWhorter. The Eagles visit UT Arlington this weekend for a three-game series.

Seth Shuman went five innings to pick up his third win from his third start on the mound this season. The freshman right hander threw five innings of two-hit ball to improve to 3-0 on the year. He struck out a career-high six batters in the win.

QUOTABLES
Head Coach Rodney Hennon
"It's good to get the two wins in the midweek going into a big conference weekend. Our pitching staff really picked us up tonight. Seth Shuman did another nice job and the guys in the bullpen did what you'd like to see them do. Defensively we played a solid game, so those things are good to see. Obviously offensively we've got to perform better Friday night. We're going to face a good one in Kadon Simmons and we've got to compete a lot better than we did tonight."

SCORING PLAYS
Bot 4th - CIT 0 - GS 1 - Cameron Hankins drove in Mason McWhorter from left with an RBI bloop single to left.
