Game one was full of ups and downs for the Eagles. For every punch that the Jaguars threw Georgia Southern’s way, the Eagles responded with a stronger punch of their own.
Trailing as much as 5-2, the Eagles were able to regroup with some timely hitting from freshmen Mitchell Golden, who had a three hit game, and Mason McWhorter to trim the USA lead to 5-4 in the fifth inning.
With guys on second and third and two outs, senior Jordan Wren stepped up to the plate and smacked a hit to left field that was misplayed by the Jaguar left fielder allowing the Eagles to go up 6-5.
