Georgia Southern baseball took the day off on Monday to rest and recover from an action packed week at J.I. Clements Stadium. The Eagles took the week to practice, running through drills, rounds of batting practice, infield and outfield drills and pitchers fielding position drills.
On Friday both side split into their usual inter-squad teams and began a weekend series featuring 20 different pitchers getting some work in. The two sides, Eagles versus Deagles, played the modified three game set this past weekend.
Freshman Jaylen Paden had a big weekend for the visiting squad. Paden went 4-10 from the plate with a double, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBIs. Freshman Chase Dollander also had a good weekend on the mound for the visitors, working 3.0 innings of no-hit, no-run baseball. He walked one batter and struck out four.
Later in the week, This is Eagle Baseball will take you behind the scenes with Athletic Trainer
Brandi Boston and give you the backstory on why the inter-squad scrimmages are called Eagles vs. Deagles.

Georgia Southern baseball resumed Fall Ball on Tuesday, after having the day off yesterday to regroup. The Eagles went through rundown drills, situational batting practice and a few rounds of normal batting practice, before ending today's work.
Our first feature of our inaugural "This is Eagle Baseball" series takes you into the equipment room with Keever Walker. Walker is a Graduate Assistant Equipment Manager for the Eagles baseball program, after spending the last four seasons with Georgia Southern Football across campus.
A Roger Inman Scholarship recipient in 2018, Walker transitioned to the baseball program, at the start of the 2020 baseball season.
During the day Keever maintains the equipment room and makes sure the guys have all of the necessary equipment for practice that day. After practices, Keever collects the bins that are in the clubhouse and throws all the loops, jersey's and pants in the washing machine and gets them ready for the next day.
When the season rolls around, Keever will start to receive shipments of new gear and hats to distribute to the team. Once everything is accounted for and moved over to the clubhouse, Keever then has to sort out sizes and distribute all the gear to the necessary players.
Dealing with laundry and new gear is not all Keever does on a daily basis. During practice he helps with field maintenance, setup and breakdown of batting practice, plays catch with the guys and keeps the field supplied and running smoothly.
Keever is just the first of many people behind the scenes that make Georgia Southern Baseball what it is today. Stay tuned as we continue with more coverage throughout the next couple of weeks.

On Friday afternoon, Georgia Southern baseball continued Fall Ball with their first scrimmage of the fall. The Eagles began the day with base running drills and batting practice, while the pitchers began to throw and get ready for the scrimmage.
The first scrimmage of the fall began around 4 p.m. at J.I. Clements Stadium and featured six different pitchers getting some work on day two. Jacob Parker, Hayden Harris and David Johnson all pitched for the "Visiting" team this afternoon, while Tyler Owens, Nick Jones and Jonathan Edwards all taking the ball for the "Home" team.
All six pitchers, tallied two innings of work throughout the afternoon and the Eagles showed some bright spot on the base paths and on the mound. GS will be back on the field tomorrow for day three of Fall Ball.
Thursday, Oct. 1
Eagle Nation, welcome to our first edition of Georgia Southern Baseball's "This is Eagle Baseball". Over the next few weeks leading up to the Fall World Series, we will take you behind the scenes as the Eagles look to pick up where they left off last season.
During Fall Ball, GS Athletics will continue to update this page with new features, photos and videos from the life inside the Georgia Southern baseball's Fall Camp. On Thursday afternoon Georgia Southern baseball began their 2020 Fall Camp with the first team practice since March 12th.
After checking in with Athletic Trainer
Brandi Boston, the guys went upstairs in the clubhouse to change and get ready for the first team practice of the Fall. The Eagles began practice with a stretching and mobility period, before heading into bullpens, batting practice and base running drills.
Tomorrow the Eagles will have one more team practice before starting situational scrimmages this weekend.
