Box Score

San Marcos, Tex. — The Georgia Southern baseball team (11-21, 4-8 SBC) came out on top to grab the series finale from Texas State (21-10, 8-4 SBC) by a 9-8 margin to end the Bobcats' eight-game conference win streak.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Both squads started with cold bats in the first, as Alex Mason ended the opening frame with a K.
Brady Christman delivered a one-out single in the Eagle second to keep his bat hot, his second hit of the afternoon.
A walk and hit batter loaded the bases for Southern and Max Prozny capitalized, driving home Christman off a sac-fly. The following batter, Frank Wells looped a single through the right side to score another and end the frame with a 2-0 lead.
After walking the leadoff batter, Alex Mason retired the next six batters he faced to send the Eagles to the third with the Bobcats still scoreless.
The Eagles exploded for four runs in the third inning themselves. Three straight singles by James McCoy, Sean White and Bryson Trammell loaded the bags with none retired. Christman drew a walk to send one home and up the lead to three.
With the bases still loaded, Jack Myers placed a perfect liner double down the left field line to plate two before a sac-fly from Max Prozny an inning later topped off the inning, extending the Southern lead to 6-0.
The Bobcats cut back into the lead with just two swings of the bat; a solo homer from Park and a three-run one from Mora with two on, making it just 6-4.
After another quiet Eagles' inning, Texas State used a leadoff double from Cotton to advance and score him off consecutive groundouts to cut their deficit to just one, scoring now five unanswered.
A one-out double from Wells to the gap, followed by Edwards walking, put two in scoring position with just one away in the sixth after a wild pitch advanced them both. McCoy was saved by a Bobcat error in centerfield that plated one to make it 7-5. However, a double play turned after a pitching change limited the damage to just one and gave some momentum back to Texas State.
A leadoff triple from Vossos after the stretch gave way to an RBI-groundout from Cotton to make it 7-6. Another groundout and a massive K later from Brady Pendley shut down any more antics.
Another scoreless inning from Southern later, Texas State had Stewart reach aboard after getting plunked before Farris gave them their first lead of the game with ten-pitch at bat, including eight foul balls, that resulted in a homer and gave them the 8-7 lead.
The Eagles, however, showed no quit as a leadoff walk followed by a McCoy double put two in scoring position with none retired.
After a wild pitch tied things up, Sean White delivered a sharp single up the middle to score McCoy and give Southern the lead back, now 9-8.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Bobcats led it off with a double from Vossos.Following a strikeout and groundout, a walk issued prompted a pitching change.
With the tying run on third, Lewis only threw one pitch. It was a popout to Myers in shallow right field to end the game.

NOTES:

Four Eagles had multi-hit games on the night, including White's first since the opening game against Marshall on March 20th.
Frank Wells had his first multi-hit game with his double and RBI-single early in the contest.
Jax Lewis got his first save of the season, only throwing one pitch to give his Eagles the win.
Jack Myers reached on all five at bats on the night, going 2-2 with three walks.

UP NEXT:

The Eagles skip a midweek and return back to J.I. to take on South Alabama for a weekend series starting Friday, April 10th. First pitch is set for 6:30 PM against the Jaguars.
