MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Christian Avant's 3-for-4 day, including a three-run home run, was the catalyst for a 7-1 Sun Belt Championship Quarterfinal win over the App State Mountaineers on Friday, May 27, at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Alabama.
Georgia Southern (39-17) got on the board in the bottom of the first inning with an RBI-double from Avant, sending Swan home. The Eagles would get their second run of the inning from an App State (20-33) infield error, plating Avant.
App State would score one in the top of the second inning, and for the next few innings, the score would remain locked at 2-1.
