Fueled by its 2016 Sun Belt Conference Championship Game appearance, the Georgia Southern baseball team looks to take the next step in 2017.
The end of the 2016 Georgia Southern Baseball Season was a bitter pill for the Eagles, reeling off three dominant wins over four days to book a spot in the Championship Game, only to fall 5-0 to Louisiana. With a host of veteran starters back set to return, many on the team were ready to get an early start on 2017.
The offseason was short for everyone with summer ball starting in the middle of June and many of Georgia Southern's student-athletes were back on the diamond in various colors working towards their new goal, the 2017 crown.
