Box Score

Charleston, S.C. — The Georgia Southern baseball team (2-10, 0-0 SBC) dropped their first road midweek bout of 2026 by a 7-1 margin to The Citadel (5-5, 0-0 SOCON) on Wednesday evening (March 4th).

HOW IT HAPPENED:

After giving up a two-out walk in the first, Jansen Kenty would expose a big lead from the Bulldogs' Sam Dansky for their first pick-off of the year.
The Eagles threatened off a leadoff walk from Brady Christman in the second, who would later be moved to third off of a Mason Gazaway single. However, a strikeout would eliminate the threat.
The Citadel had a runner on third early in the next frame via a leadoff double, followed by a deep fly ball. A single up the middle from Garrett Fulmer would get the game's first run across.
In the Bulldogs' third, a successful sac-bunt with two runners on, followed by a walk, would juice the bases for The Citadel. Another run would come across via a sac-fly before TJ Anderson cleared them with a homer, making it 5-0.
The Eagles struck the scoreboard in the fifth as after a leadoff walk and stolen base from James McCoy, Sean White singled back up the middle for his sixth RBI of 2026.
A triple from The Bulldogs' Barbrey set up an eventual two-run inning for The Citadel, extending their lead to 7-1.
After the fifth, both offenses remained quiet, with all eight runs coming in the opening four frames of the game.
Despite loading the bases in the eighth, Thomas Burke worked out of a jam to not surrender a run.

NOTES:

The Eagles stranded 13 on the base pads on the night, their most all season. The Bulldogs would leave just five on, three of which coming in the eighth..
Craig Kalkbrenner threw a full scoreless inning out of the pen, striking out two on his outing.
Mason Gazaway would have his second multi-hit game in four outings after slapping two singles on the night.
Meanwhile, Sean White would nearly mirror his performance on Sunday with another two-hit night with an RBI.
Along with stranding the bases loaded in the eighth for the Bulldogs', Burke had four Ks in his two innings of work, allowing just two hits, but keeping the scoreboard clean.

UP NEXT:

The Eagles start their final non-conference midweek series of 2026 as Tennessee Tech comes to Statesboro. First pitch Friday night is set for 6:30 PM at J.I. for True Blue Time Machine night to kick off Alumni weekend.
