No. 21 Baseball Sweeps Georgia State In Atlanta

ATLANTA — No. 21 Coastal Carolina used timely hitting and a strong start from right-hander Luke Jones to cap a weekend sweep with a 4-2 win over Georgia State on Sunday at the GSU Baseball Complex.

Jones (2-1) turned in his best outing of the year, scattering three hits across six shutout innings while striking out six and walking two. 

The Chanticleers (27-9, 11-4 Sun Belt) backed him with a pair of runs in the third and fifth innings and held off a late push from the Panthers (22-16, 8-7) to complete their second Sun Belt road sweep of the season.

Blake Barthol belted a solo homer in the fifth — his seventh of the season — and Caden Bodine and Dean Mihos each drove in a run as part of a nine-hit Coastal attack. Chad Born had two hits and reached base three times, helping set up a two-run eighth inning that pushed the Chanticleer lead to 4-0.

After Georgia State got on the board in the eighth with a solo homer from Kaleb Freeman and added a run in the ninth, Ryan Lynch entered from the bullpen to record the final three outs and earn his second save.

NOTEBOOK
  • Sweep Secured: The 4-2 win gave Coastal its first road sweep of Georgia State since joining the Sun Belt and marked the Chants' third sweep of the season (Rutgers, Georgia Southern).
  • Jones Shines: Luke Jones delivered a season-long 6.0 innings, allowing just three hits while striking out a career-best six. 
  • Barthol Stays Hot: Blake Barthol's fifth-inning homer was his second of the week.
  • Clutch Relief: After Matthew Potok allowed two runs in the eighth, Ryan Lynch entered in the ninth and stranded the tying run at second to notch his second save of 2025.
UP NEXT
  • Coastal concludes its five-game road trip with a return game at Wake Forest on Tuesday, April 15 at 6 p.m.
  • The game will be televised on ACCNX and air on the Chanticleer Sports Network.
  • The Chants return home next weekend for a three-game set with Marshall from Thursday to Saturday at Springs Brooks Stadium.
