Game Preview
The Cougars and Eagles meet in the second of the three-game season series, with Georgia Southern holding a narrow 33-32 advantage in the all-time series. Charleston took game one of the season, 3-0, at Patriots Point on February 28.
Last Time Out
The Cougars won their eighth weekend series of the season to move back into the top spot in the CAA standings with wins over Northeastern on Friday and Saturday.
Two-way Stud
After making his primary contributions on the mound to this point in the season, Clay Hunt proved he can make noise at the plate as well with a 5-for-11 weekend that included two home runs and three RBIs. For his efforts, Hunt was named Co-CAA Player of the Week on Monday.
Primetime Arm
Nathan Ocker has been nothing short of magnificent out of the bullpen this season, surrendering just three runs in 31 and one-third innings while coming into the week with a WHIP of 0.64. The junior right-hander has not surrendered a run in 21 and one-third consecutive innings, and in that span, has allowed only 16 base runners.
Leading the Pack
The Cougars come into the week leading the CAA in nearly every offensive category, batting .288 as a team with 207 runs scored, 64 doubles, 38 home runs, and 52 stolen bases, while combining for a .446 slugging percentage. CofC also leads the CAA with a 2.69 team ERA, and has allowed the least number of home runs (12).
Scouting Georgia Southern
Georgia Southern enters the week with a 16-19 overall record following a weekend sweep at the hands of South Alabama. The Eagles have lost four straight, and are batting .231 as a team with 15 home runs this season.
Mason McWhorter leads the team with 10 doubles, six home runs and 26 RBIs while batting .260. Braxton Johns will make his first start of the season for the Eagles on Tuesday, with a 2-2 record and a 6.75 ERA in 17 appearances out of the bullpen.
