Box Score

Charleston, S.C. — The Georgia Southern baseball team (6-18, 1-5 SBC) fell to Charleston Southern (17-7, 2-1 Big South) by a 14-8 score Tuesday Night in Charleston (March 24th).

HOW IT HAPPENED:

The Eagles loaded up the bags in the opening three batters after a leadoff single, walk and bunt single. Unfortunately, the next batter saw a sharp line drive caught by the Buccaneers' first baseman and tagged out White at first for two quick outs. A groundout later stranded two in scoring position early for Georgia Southern.
The Buccaneers exploded for nine runs, the most scored by any team in an inning in a contest for the Eagles this season. The half inning included six hits, four walks and two hit batters, including a grand slam from Blake Edgmon.
After a scoreless second, Charleston Southern tacked on one in their third to increase their lead to double digits.
A four-run, four-hit fourth went the Buccaneers with them having three straight singles to push their advantage to 14-0.
The Eagles broke the scoreboard in their fifth with RBis from a Frank Wells single and Jonathan Jaime to make it a 12-run deficit.
Georgia Southern one-upped their previous inning, scoring three in their sixth with help from a two-RBI double from Bennett Edwards and a Jack Myers RBI-single to make it 14-5.
The Eagles held the Buccaneers to three straight scoreless frames starting in the fifth, including stranding two runners in scoring position in the seventh.
In the eighth, Georgia Southern threatened again by loading the bases with one away, all from walks, but a 5-4-3 double play ended things early.
Georgia Southern would not go down easy in their final chance at the plate, using three walks and a single to plate one before Brady Christman's two-RBI single to make it 14-8.

NOTES:

Edwards' sixth inning double made it five straight games where the freshman has gone for multiple hits on the same night, including six of his last seven outings.
Jayden White had another steady outing of relief, throwing 2.1 innings while only allowing just a single run and a hit while striking out two Buccaneers for nearly a mirror image of his last outing against Marshall on Sunday.
Freshman Kade Kisz got his first career base knock with a 104 mph laser to shortstop in the seventh.
The Eagles hit into double plays in four straight innings from the 5th-8th, their most in a contest this season.
43 combined players participated in the game tonight, with 22 of them from the Eagles roster.
After trailing 14-0, the Eagles scored eight unanswered from the fifth inning on.
Jax Lewis was a major contributing factor in keeping the Buccaneers' off the board in the later innings, tossing 3.2 innings of no-run baseball, giving up just three hits and three strikeouts.

UP NEXT:

The Eagles stay in town for another midweek bout against the College of Charleston Cougars tomorrow night (Wednesday, Mar. 25th). First pitch at Patriot's Point is set for 6 PM.
