Georgia Southern series ...

[GoneGolfin]

Georgia Southern mercy rules Jacksonville on the road tonight 13-2. The Eagles struck early and often ... and with the game never in doubt, was able to rest their arms in advance of their conference series opener Friday vs. the Cajuns.

Regarding the Georgia Southern pitching staff, it will be interesting to see if #1 (Friday) starter Thomas Higgins gets the start on Friday. For whatever reason, he skipped last weekend's ULM series. His last outing was a 103 pitch effort on Friday 4/26 in a win over Marshall. Higgins sat out 2023 due to injury.

Additionally, recent weekend starter Porter Buursema was pulled after only facing one batter (5 pitch walk) in last weekend's Saturday start vs. ULM. He has not thrown much this season ... and was a solid high school recruit ... but started the last three conference weekend series (JMU, Marshall, and ULM).

CMD will have us pitching, batting and pressing the defense to take this series.

Last Sunday’s marathon was just what Louisiana needed to bring this team through the home stretch.

We are healthy and ready to go.

southern getting hot at the right time.

Marshall, ULM and Jackonsonville not exactly baseball powerhouses

Avoid pitching and fielding freebies and make Georgia Southern earn every hit and every run. If we do that, I think we take the series.

southern getting hot at the right time.

Coastal was hot when we played them.
Troy was hot when we played them and still is.
Ga Southern getting hot right as we head to Statesboro.

Is this just dumb luck or something we say in here?

I don’t know that Ga. Southern is necessarily “getting hot” right now. It’s more of who they’ve been playing recently. They’ve swept ULM and Marshall the last two weekends. Prior to that they got swept by JMU and lost 2/3 to coastal the week before that one.

They are a good team, playing at home. The Cajuns will need to play well to win the series. And I expect that to happen.


Common conference opponents:

USM - both Ga S and UL won 2/3
Coastal - both lost 2/3
ULM - both swept
Marshall - both swept
ODU - Cajuns swept; Ga Southern lost 2/3

Sweeping anyone in baseball is something that is challenging to do.

When we swept Marshall and ULM everyone said the Cajuns were hot, but when another team does the same thing they arent?

not sure exactly what the definition of hot would be, but we were 20-1 in the stretch where we played Marshall and ULM while GaSo is 13-8 in the 21 games surrounding their series against the same teams.

G. Southern is playing good ball, no doubt. ULM has only been swept twice all year, by the Cajuns on the road and at home last week by G. Southern. And they have played series against Coastal, Troy and S. Miss without being swept in any of those 3.

I don’t know if it means G. Southern is “hot” or “getting hot” or whatever else. What it tells me, along with the rest of their results, is that they are a good team, playing in a big series this weekend, at home, still having a chance to win the SBC regular season title.

UL will need to play good baseball this weekend to win the series. And that taking 2 of 3 this weekend would be a great result.

Hot or not, here come the LOUISIANA RAGIN CAJUNS . . .

They have scored 101 runs in their last 10 games and thats including 4 of the 10 shortened by run rule, their bats are hot.
