SAVANNAH, GA. - Georgia Southern took an 11 inning, 6-5 win over Savannah State on Wednesday night on Savannah's east side.

GAME NOTES
- Seth Shuman had a solid outing and was in line to pick up his fourth win of the season. The four runs off the bullpen scuttled that chance as he earned his first no decision from a start this season. It was the first starting action for the freshman since March 22nd when he went five innings to pick up the win against The Citadel. He worked around five hits and gave up a run on Wednesday with three strikeouts.
- Ryan Frederick worked two innings to win his second game of the year. He didn't allow a hit in the 10th or 11th innings, walking one and striking out five batters to nail down the win.
- Steven Curry posted a three hit game going 3-for-7 while Logan Baldwin went 3-for-6 with two runs and two RBIs to bookend the lineup.
