STORYLINES
- Georgia Southern closes out a six game road swing this week with games at The Citadel and Charleston Southern while opening a five game Spring Break Week.
- The Eagles ran roughshod over UT Arlington on Sunday, taking a 15-7 win over the Mavericks. The Eagles trailed 6-2 early, but got a seven run fifth inning along with four more in the seventh to post Georgia Southern's largest scoring haul of the season.
- The Eagles have won six-straight games over The Citadel, including a 12-7 win last year in Charleston. The Eagles and Bulldogs were both members of the Southern Conference through the 2014 season. Since the Eagles left the league, Georgia Southern leads the series 6-2.
- Georgia Southern holds a 47-4 lead in the all-time series with the Buccaneers. The teams played a yearly home-and-home between 2010 and 2013 with five of those eight games decided by two runs or fewer. Georgia Southern's last loss to the Bucs came on April 16, 1996 when Coach Stallings' Eagles fell 5-1 in North Charleston.
- Georgia Southern's trip to the Lone Star State was beneficial for junior Mason McWhorter who was phenomenal in the three game series. He hit .545 with a 1.455 slugging percentage. He opened the weekend on the bench, coming on as a pinch hitter and blasting a two-run home run. He got the start on Saturday, going 2-for-4 as the Eagles evened the series. On Sunday, Mason had a 3-for-5 game with three runs scored, three RBIs and a pair of home runs. He hit home runs in back-to-back leadoff chances in the 7th and 8th innings of the 15-7 win.
- Among the many tools in his kit, Steven Curry has shown a knack for wearing pitches. In his 130 career games with the Eagles, Steven has been hit 51 times to rank four in school history, only seven behind J.R. Revere's career total. In 2019, Curry has been hit nine times with six coming in the weekend finale.
- With the series win over UT Arlington, Georgia Southern made a big jump in the RPI, moving from 61st to 29th. The move corresponded with big moves from other opponents this season: Georgia (18-2 - 95th to 32nd) Auburn (18-2 - 17th to 4th) West Virginia (12-7 - 37th to 13th).

UP NEXT
The Eagles will return home this weekend for a three game set against Little Rock. First pitch on Friday night is set for 6:30 p.m. All three games can be seen live for free on True Blue TV with radio coverage from the Georgia Southern Sports Network.
