ATHENS, GA. – Georgia Southern got an outstanding debut pitching performance from Chase Cohen, but ultimately it was the extra innings hitting of Ryan Cleveland that gave the Eagles a 5-3 win over Georgia. Cohen threw five innings of one-hit ball, but saw a three-run advantage evaporate in the seventh inning. The bullpen, however, stopped the bleeding and forced extra innings. Cleveland blasted a two-out, full count pitch to center for the game winner.
WORDS FROM THE SKIPPER
