GAME NOTES
- Georgia Southern Baseball slides down to the low country for a Tuesday afternoon matinee against College of Charleston from the Patriot's Point Complex in Mount Pleasant. The game is the first of three between the Eagles and Cougars. The teams will play next in Savannah at Historic Grayson Stadium on April 3rd.
- Junior Tyler Owens makes his debut for the Eagles on Tuesday afternoon, garnering the start in the Low Country. Owens is a native of Sylvania and joined the Eagles this season as a transfer from East Georgia.
- The Eagles took the finale on Saturday evening over West Virginia, 1-0. Georgia Southern took a split in the Saturday doubleheader and salvaged the finale, avoiding the series sweep behind a dominant pitching performance from Daniel Collins. The Eagles took advantage of a leadoff error in the sixth to plate the game's only run.
- Georgia Southern leads the all-time series with the College of Charleston 34-32 in a series that dates back to the Cougars joining the Southern Conference for the 1999 season. The Eagles took two of three last year and has won three of the last four games in Mount Pleasant.
- Senior transfer Daniel Collins had a second quality start of the season in the series finale against West Virginia. He shackled the Mountaineers, holding them to just four hits over his six shutout innings of work. Collins struck out five and carries an 0.82 ERA into his next start, this weekend against Georgia.
- Georgia Southern's 2019 home opener, originally slated for Tuesday, February 19th, was rained out due to a persistent drizzle that kept the tarp on the field. The teams are currently working to arrange a new date for the game, but no announcement has been made.
