In the second, Georgia State opened up the scoring with a solo home run to left field. The Eagles responded in the second, when Steven Curry crushed his fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot to left field. Georgia Southern added three more in the third as JP Tighe reached on a throwing error by the shortstop to score Noah Ledford and Austin Thompson. Parker Biederer would single up the middle to score Tighe from second to extend the Eagles lead to 6-1.
 
In the fifth, Austin Thompson scored on a failed pickoff move to third. In the eighth, Steven Curry singled to right field to score Biederer from third. Avant tripled to left center to score Steven Curry and Noah Ledford singled up the middle to score Avant.
