GAME NOTES
 
 
LAST TIME OUT: AUBURN
Facing the No. 2 Tigers on the road, Georgia fell in its first sweep of the league season last weekend. The Bulldogs had Auburn on the ropes in two games, as the home team needed a walkoff home run to win game one and a rally in the bottom sixth to take game three.
 
 
For the weekend, Cortni Emanuel and Sydni Emanuel led the team at the plate, both hitting over .450 with five hits each. The Bulldogs had three home runs as well, as three-time SEC Freshman of the Week Alyssa DiCarlo notched two and Maeve McGuire had one for the eighth of her junior year.
 
 
SENIORS WRAPPING UP CAREER AT HOME
The series against Ole Miss marks the last regular-season games at Jack Turner Stadium as well as closing in on the end of Georgia’s six seniors’ careers. This class has guided Georgia to a 170-66 record over their career, including trips to three NCAA Regionals and two NCAA Super Regionals while giving the program its first SEC Tournament Championship in 2014. The seniors have over 50 SEC victories in their four years and have won over 100 games at home. Each senior will also finish their time in Athens ranked in an individual career top 10 ranking.
 
 
CORTNI MOVES UP IN CAREER STOLEN BASES RANKING
After notching her 30th stolen base of the season, Cortni moved up a spot in Georgia’s career stolen bases list, now holding at a tie for fifth with 75 swiped bags. The sophomore is knotted with recent Bulldog Anna Swafford, as Swafford was 75-for-85 in stolen bases during her career. Cortni is now 11 away from moving to fourth, as Kellie Middleton holds there with 86.
 
 
Last season, Cortni took 45 stolen bases, the most by a Georgia player since 2007, which ranked her first in the league and eighth in the nation. This year, Cortni is third in the league and 36th in the nation with her 30 steals.
