Thursday night, after nearly an hour thunderstorm delay, the Eagles prevailed over the Panthers 19-5, taking the win for game one in the last regular season series for Georgia Southern.
The Eagles were first on the board due to a solo home run hit in the bottom of the first by sophomore Mitchell Golden, giving them a 1-0 lead over the Panthers. GS continued to impress with freshman Christian Avant adding another run in the second inning- making their lead 2-0.
The fourth inning proved to be a big one for the Eagles as Avant was on fire as he notched another run and freshman Jason Swan hit his first career home run for the Eagles, adding two more home runs to their lead over the Panthers.
