SERIES PREVIEW: Eagles and Bobcats Collide in Top Three Conference Showdown

STATESBORO – Two of the top three teams in the Sun Belt meet in San Marcos, Texas, as the Georgia Southern baseball team and Texas State square off for a weekend series starting on Friday, April 8. First pitch for Friday's game is a 7 p.m. ET.

This is the first time since 2019 that the two squads will meet in a series, with the Bobcats taking the series in Statesboro with wins in games two and three. The Bobcats have a small lead in the overall series, 8-5.
