QUICK HITS
- After four-straight on the road, Georgia Southern Baseball is back at home for this weekend's series against ULM. The Eagles took two of three from ULM last season with a 13-1 win in the series opener.
- Georgia Southern took an 8-4 win over College of Charleston on Tuesday night. The Eagles tallied 14 hits in the game and hit three home runs in a seven run third inning. The Eagles batted around that inning as Jordan Wren, Tyler Martin and Mason McWhoter hit home runs.
- Georgia Southern Baseball welcomes the Warhawks to Statesboro for the second time in series history. Both previous series have been affected by rain with doubleheaders on Friday.
- The Georgia Southern offense in 2017 has been buoyed by the bats of three freshman who have announced their presence with authority. Steven Curry leads the team with a .340 average from the leadoff spot in the order. Mitchell Golden, despite his recent slump, is hitting .343 between shortstop and third base. Mason McWhorter is hitting .318 in 21 starts with six doubles, and his first home run against College of Charleston.
- On March 1, 2016 Hunter Phillips was injured against the College of Charleston, forcing him to endure a year-long recovery. He made his return to game action 392 days later on March 28th at the College of Charleston.
- The Eagles defeated UT Arlington 9-5 on March 26th, scoring five in the first and four in the eighth. The impressive stat lying underneath that line is that all nine Georgia Southern runs came with two outs in the respective innings. The Eagles posted four-straight two out hits in both innings. In the eighth inning of the tie game, the Eagles broke Maverick hearts with a single, a triple, a double and a triple in succession to take the win.
- Senior shortstop Evan McDonald missed nine games after being hit in the helmet by a foul ball while in the on deck circle in the finale of the Georgia series. He returned to the lineup on March 17th against South Alabama, returning to his position at shortstop. He has eight hits in his last nine games entering the ULM series.
- In the win over College of Charleston, the Eagles "broke" the new manual scoreboard by tallying 19 hits (two more than the scoreboard had numbers for). Since then, Georgia Southern's partner Whitfield Signs created additional signs before the South Alabama series, allowing a maximum of 21 hits or runs to be displayed on the scoreboard.
- The 2017 Sun Belt Tournament is coming to Statesboro starting on May 23, 2017. The new format features two play in games that pit the No. 7 and No. 10 seeds and the No. 8 and No. 9 seeds for the final spots in the field of eight.
