Eagles move to 9-4 in conference play
TROY, Ala. – Georgia Southern dropped a close contest to Troy, 2-0, on Friday night at Troy Softball Complex
The Georgia Southern offense put runners on in five straight innings but tallied just one hit in the contest and left five runners on base. On the other side, Troy tallied three hits in the contest, two by way of the long ball.
