Georgia Southern baseball enters the Southern Conference Tournament as the No. 6 seed, thanks to a 5-2 win in the regular season finale against regular season co-champion Western Carolina.

The Eagles will face third-seed Elon on Wednesday at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park in Charleston, S.C. Game time will be at either 4 or 7:30 p.m. If The Citadel wins its play-in game Tuesday, then the Eagles will play the Phoenix at 4. Otherwise the game will take place at 7:30.

Georgia Southern (33-26 overall, 13-14 SoCon) lost 2-of-3 to Elon at J.I. Clements Stadium in early April, but all were one-run contests.
