My Take: GSU's lineup a good problem to have
030114 GSU BASEBALL 04 WEB
Georgia Southern first baseman Ryan Cleveland, left, tags out SIU Edwardsville second baseman Jake Michalak to end the first inning at J. I. Clements Stadium on Saturday. Cleveland is one of nine Eagles who has homered this season and is one of six first-year GSU players batting at least .300.
When the toughest part of putting together a lineup is figuring out which .300 hitter needs to get left out, you’re in pretty good shape. Georgia Southern (10-2) has had a dramatic turnaround in offense since a disappointing 2013 season, averaging over 10 runs per game, compared to 5.6 last year. Just to put it into perspective, the Eagles hit 32 home runs in 2013.
