STORYLINES
- Georgia Southern plays its second five-game week of the season, starting with a pair of home games at different sites. The Eagles welcome Presbyterian College to Jack Stallings Field at J.I. Clements Stadium on Tuesday night. Georgia Southern hosts a special Savannah game on Wednesday night at 6 p.m. from Historic Grayson Stadium.
- A four run eighth inning for ULM spoiled the series finale as the Warhawks took the finale 8-5 to win the final two games of the series.
- Georgia Southern's series with Presbyterian College dates back to 1950 with the Blue Hose taking the first five games in the 1950 and 1951 seasons. Since then, the Eagles have won 11-straight over the team from Clinton, S.C. including a three game sweep in 2009 at the friendly confines.
 - The Eagles and Cougars square off for the 68th time on Wednesday at Savannah's Grayson Stadium. The series dates back to 1999 when the Cougars joined the Southern Conference. Wednesday's game is the second of three between the teams scheduled for this season. The Cougars will come to Statesboro on April 24th as part of the Eagles' third and final five game week of the season.
- Hit streaks have become big business for the Eagles this season with four double digit streaks on the books.
Nolan Tressler currently owns the longest streak for the Eagles, a 14 game streak in which he is hitting .407.
Mason McWhorter owns an active 12 game streak, while
Steven Curry and
Austin Thompson both had 10 game runs earlier this year.
- Junior
Seth Shuman had a dominant outing recently against Little Rock, striking out a career-high 13 batters. His big day set the table for the Eagles to fan 21 batters, one off a school record set back in 1975. Shuman went seven innings and scattered two runs off five hits with two walks. Seth was named to Collegiate Baseball News' National Players of the Week list on March 25th.
-
Seth Shuman crossed a milestone in the win over ULM. He reached 200 career strikeouts and is now in striking distance of joining the Georgia Southern career top-10 strikeouts list. Shuman has 201 career Ks and needs 47 more punch outs to reach Tod Lee's (1995-97) total of 248.
- Among the many tools in his kit,
Steven Curry has shown a knack for wearing pitches. In his 139 career games with the Eagles, Steven has been hit 53 times to rank third in school history, only five behind J.R. Revere's career total. In 2019, Curry has been hit 11 times with seven coming in the weekend finale.
UP NEXT
