This would have put the opening date on Feb. 15, which is exactly a year after the day that we first told our readers of the. new restaurant’s construction in 2012. Van Gogh’s was originally supposed to open in August 2012, according to GATA’s general manager, Jeff Stewart. However, the restaurant did not open. Christian Bennett, the owner of both restaurants, has told The George-Anne’s reporters “quality is more important than timeliness” twice.

Softball (19-24)

BY RANDALL HAMPTON The George-Anne staff

The Georgia Southern University softball team split a double header with Georgia State University yesterday. GSU failed to show up in the first game as the Eagles went down 8-0. The Eagles found themselves on the wrong end of a perfect game by Ga. State junior pitcher Kaitlyn Medlam. While the offense was getting blanked, the Eagles pitching staff was busy giving up 13 hits. Sophomore pitchers Brooke Red and Marla Thompson combined to give up eight earned runs in the loss. After getting blitzed with a perfect game right off the bus, the Eagles had to get ready for game two with a sweep staring back at them. Junior pitcher Sarah Purvis struck out six as she battled to keep GSU in the game. The team headed into the top of the seventh inning down 4-1. That is when senior outfielder Alexa Lewis got on base with a single to right field. Junior short stop Kourtny Thomas sent a shot up the middle to bring Lewis home. A walk followed by a RBI sacrifice fly from senior first baseman Tabby Douberly kept the inning alive. A dropped ball by Ga. State first baseman Lauren Coleman allowed freshman outfielder Dominique Grossman to score the game winning run for the Eagles. The dramatic victory comes a Chrystal Riley/The George-Anne few days before a crucial showdown Freshman catcher AJ Hamilton (11) drives with Southern Conference rival back a Mercer pitch.
