STATESBORO, GA. – Georgia Southern Baseball came out on the short end of a 12-1 line on Friday to open a three game non-conference series against Clemson. The Tigers got to starting pitcher Evan Challenger early, tagging him for nine runs off seven hits. The Eagles manufactured a run in the second, but it wasn't enough to salvage the series opener. Game two is set for Saturday night at 7 p.m. on Popsicle Night presented by Food World. Free popsicles will be presented to fans at the ballpark.
"Clemson swung the bats really well tonight and they had a great approach against (Evan) Challenger tonight," said Head Coach Rodney Hennon.
