ARLINGTON, TEXAS - Georgia Southern Baseball hung crooked numbers in the first and eighth innings to take the 9-5 win over UT Arlington on Sunday.

QUOTABLES
Head Coach Rodney Hennon
"There were a lot of two-out hits today. It was good to jump out early and Chase (Cohen) did a good job for us. I liked the way that we responded after they cut back into the game. We did a good job of keeping our poise and getting some big hits late in the game. The bullpen did a nice job finishing the game off."
