STATESBORO - Georgia Southern Baseball survived a lightning delay of more than two hours to take a 12-7 win over Georgia State in the penultimate game of the 2018 regular season. The Eagles face Georgia State in the regular season finale on Saturday at 3 p.m.

The program will honor seniors Matt Geiger and Chandler Corley in a pregame ceremony, fans are encouraged to arrive by 2:30 p.m. to show their appreciation for these two Eagles.

Single game tickets are available at GSEagles.com/Tickets, giving fans the opportunity to beat the lines on gameday. Tickets can also be purchased at the J.I. Clements Stadium Box Office, located directly behind home plate at the stadium's main entrance.

Mason McWhorter led the way for the Eagles, going 3-for-4 and coming a triple shy of the cycle. He hit his home run in the second inning to get the scoring started for the Eagles. Ultimately he drove in four runs and scored three on the night.

Seth Shuman went five innings for the Eagles and earned his seventh win of the season. He fanned eight, but walked four and allowed four runs, all in the third inning.

Georgia State's struggles in Statesboro continued on Friday night. In their last three games on Jack Stallings Field at J.I. Clements Stadium, the Panthers have been outscored 52-16 including a 21-4 loss to Arkansas State in the 2017 Sun Belt Tournament.

Georgia Southern's seeding for the 2018 Sun Belt Tournament is still up in the air. With a win and a South Alabama win at Troy on Saturday, the Eagles would earn the No. 3 seed and play a 4 p.m. (CT) game to open the postseason. A Troy win or an Eagle loss would put the Eagles in the No. 4 or No. 5 seed, opening the tournament on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. (CT)
