The Georgia Southern baseball team clinched the Sun Belt East Division title at the end of the regular season, but fell to Coastal Carolina in the final game of the Sun Belt Championship on Sunday.
“You have to work so hard just to get here,” GS Head Coach Rodney Hennon said. “And to get that close and not get over the hump is certainly a tough pill to swallow.”
GS started off strong in their campaign to defeat the defending conference champions, but ran into some offensive trouble in the final five innings.
Junior outfielder Mason McWhorter went down injured after being hit by a pitch in the first inning when he was at bat, and this was a major blow to the lineup.
