Entering the last two weeks of Southern Conference play, there will be no mid-week games this week for the Catamounts due to WCU's exam schedule. However, the Cats travel to Statesboro for a three game series with Georgia Southern starting Friday, May 9th.Like the App series, this will be the last scheduled regular season games with Georgia Southern as conference partners. The Cats hope to extend the same send off to the Eagles as was provided to the Mountaineers.
The Catamounts and Eagles have met 109 times on the baseball diamond, dating back to 1970. The Cats hold a slight 56-53 edge overall in the series, thanks to a 3 game sweep of the Eagles in Cullowhee last season. This year, the Eagles are 31-19 overall. and 13-11 in conference play, good enough for 4th place in the SoCon standings. The Eagles are playing well at home this season, with a 19-9 overall record in games at Clements Stadium, but the Eagles are only 4-5 in conference games played in Statesboro. At home this season, the Eagles lost two to Samford, two to UNCG, and one to App State, so GSU has only won one conference series at home, with no sweeps. Georgia Southern is 5-5 in their last ten games, and are currently on a 3 game win streak, after sweeping Furman in Greenville this past weekend.
Georgia Southern provides a video feed via their All Access (fee). The Catamount Sports Network will broadcast all three games.
