Tuesday: RHP Griffin McLarty (0-2, 6.55 ERA, 13 K) vs. RHP Adam Kelly (1-0, 1.35 ERA, 8 K)
The Match-Up
The College and Georgia Southern meet for the second time this season, and 64th time overall, with the Cougars holding a 33-30 edge in the all-time series. The Eagles won the first meeting this season by a 14-7 margin on March 1 in Statesboro, Ga.
Last Time Out
The Cougars picked up wins on Saturday and Sunday to rally for a series victory against Hofstra to open their CAA schedule. Weekend starters Nathan Ocker, Jakob Frishmuth, and Tucker White combined for 15 and two-thirds innings, and allowed two runs on 15 hits and struck out 15. Bradley Dixon, Erven Roper, and Tommy Richter each picked up four hits, as Roper mashed his third homer of the season in Saturday's 12-1 win.
On Base Maestros
Five Cougars have posted a reached base streak of at least 11 games this season, with Tommy Richter carrying a current 14-game span into Tuesday's outing. Logan McRae owns the team's longest streak of the season at 15 games, and is currently riding a seven-game stretch.
Arms on the Rebound
The Cougar pitching staff bounced back with a strong weekend against Hofstra, surrendering four runs and striking out 28 batters in a 2-1 series victory. Freshman Jakob Frishmuth delivered perhaps his best performance of the season on Saturday, tossing six and two-thirds shutout innings to earn his first collegiate win. Nathan Ocker struck out a career-high nine batters in a six-inning effort on Friday, while Griffin McLarty tallied seven K's in two and one-third on Saturday.
Scouting Georgia Southern
The Eagles enter the week with a 14-10 overall record after rallying to take the series over UT Arlington this past weekend. Georgia Southern has emerged with a series win in four of its last five sets, including a midweek sweep of The Citadel on March 21 and 22.
Ryan Cleveland leads the Eagle attack with five home runs, 10 doubles, 26 RBIs and a .313 batting average; Steven Curry owns a team-high .347 batting average. Tuesday's starter, Adam Kelly, carries a 1.35 ERA with eight strikeouts in 10 appearances, including one start.
