The Georgia Southern coach had trouble composing himself after his Eagles were eliminated from the 2013 Southern Conference tournament on Saturday night at Fluor Field. Third-seeded Elon held off a bases-loaded rally in the bottom of the ninth to win 7-6 and advance to the SoCon title game for the first time since 2009.
