Quickly: Georgia Southern opens up Sun Belt Conference play by hosting UL Monroe in a three-game series beginning on Friday ... This is the sixth Sun Belt Conference opening weekend for Georgia Southern since the school joined the league for the 2015 season. The Eagles have won three of their five Sun Belt opening series since 2015, and ULM will be the fourth different opponent GS has faced in Sun Belt openers ... ULM enters this weekend's Sun Belt Conference-opening series at 9-11 overall. Offensively, Korie Kreps leads the Warhawks, hitting .468 with a pair of doubles, a pair of triples and nine RBI. She currently leads the Sun Belt Conference in hits (29) while ranking second in batting average ... The Warhawk pitching staff is led by Amber Coons (4-1, 2.80 ERA) and Murphy Williams (4-2, 3.50 ERA). As a team, ULM is second in the Sun Belt in hitting (.296 BA) while ranking eighth in pitching (4.42 ERA) ... For Georgia Southern, freshman starting pitcher Aaliyah Garcia has quickly become a mainstay of the Eagle staff, pitching a team-high 55 2/3 innings and sporting a team-best 2.14 ERA. One secret to her success has been her control - Garcia has struck out 46 batters in those 55 2/3 innings, while walking just five batters all year. She currently ranks 7th in NCAA Division I in walks per seven innings (0.63) and also ranks 8th in strikeout-to-walk ratio, averaging 9.2 strikeouts for every walk she has given up this season ... Saturday's game against the Warhawks will be the Eagles' Military Appreciation Game, sponsored by the Army National Guard.
