The Citadel Hosts ETSU; Honors Seniors on Sunday

CHARLESTON, S.C. - The Citadel plays its final Southern Conference home series of the season when it hosts East Tennessee State in a three-game set beginning on Friday at 6 p.m.

The Bulldogs and Buccaneers also play on Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. The Citadel enters the weekend with a record of 20-26 and 5-13 in the SoCon while ETSU is 19-29 and 6-12 in the league. All three contests can be seen on the SoCon Digital Network.

On Saturday, The Citadel will host a 25th anniversary reunion of its 1990 College World Series team. Returning players and coaches from that squad, including ETSU head coach Tony Skole, will be introduced prior to the start of the game.

The Bulldogs will celebrate Senior Day on Sunday, honoring the nine seniors on the 2015 squad. That group includes pitchers Kevin Connell, James Reeves, Zach Sherrill, Brett Tompkins and Ross White and position players Ryan Kilgallen, Bailey Rush, Johnathan Stokes and Connor Walsh.

The Citadel and ETSU have played six times since the Bucs left the SoCon following the 2005 season. The Bulldogs have won four of those contests, including a 7-3 victory the last time ETSU visited Riley Park in 2013. Last year in Johnson City, the Bucs emerged with a 12-4 win.

The last time the teams played as SoCon rivals, The Citadel won two of three in the regular season in Charleston and also claimed a victory in the conference tournament at Riley Park.

Dating back to the 1965 season, when complete records for The Citadel are available, the Bulldogs hold a 52-28 lead in the series with ETSU including 42-12 in Charleston and 22-3 at Riley Park.

The Citadel is coming off its first SoCon series win of the season, having taken two of three at Samford last weekend. ETSU has won
