STATESBORO -- Georgia State fell 10-8 to Georgia Southern in the series finale Saturday at J.I. Clements Stadium.

The Panthers (23-13, 10-5 Sun Belt) got home runs from Luke Boynton and Max Ryerson, but Georgia Southern (24-11, 11-4) rallied with four runs in the seventh to tie the game and then scored the go-ahead runs in the eighth to complete the sweep.

Georgia State jumped in front 6-0 with three runs in the first and three more in the second. Cameron Jones had a run-scoring single in the first and an RBI-double in the second, Boynton drove in a run with a single, Ryerson drew a bases loaded walk and Dalton Pearson and Kyle Hilton contributed sacrifice flies.

After Georgia Southern picked up two runs in the third, Boynton led off the fourth with a solo homer, his eighth of the season for a 7-3 lead. 

Ryerson hit his Sun Belt-leading 13th homer in the seventh to give the Panthers an 8-4 lead.

Five of Georgia Southern's runs were unearned, and the Eagles scored two runs on wild pitches.

After playing seven straight road games, Georgia State returns home to host Kennesaw State Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the GSU Baseball Complex.
