STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern baseball will continue a stretch of seven straight home contests, hosting the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday night in J.I. Clements Stadium. Last season the Eagles swept the No. 3 Bulldogs in the home-neutral-home series and capped off a shortened 2020 season with a sellout crowd on March 11th.
The Eagles will send Jordan Jackson back to the mound for this midweek, after a successful outing against UNF on Wednesday of last week. Jackson posts a 1-2 record with a 5.79 ERA, while his counterpart on Tuesday, Jonathan Cannon missed the first few weeks of the season with Mono.
