BSB: Dawgs Begin 13-Game Homestand This Afternoon

After playing six of its first 10 games of the season on the road, nationally-ranked Georgia begins a 13-game homestand Friday at 3 pm. 

The Bulldogs (9-1) open with a four-game series against Florida Gulf Coast (4-4). This past Wednesday, Georgia used a pair of home runs and 7.2 scoreless innings from its bullpen to erase an early deficit and post a 7-3 road win over Georgia State (6-2). Meanwhile in Coral Gables, Fla., the Eagles fell 14-6 to Miami. The Bulldogs are a consensus top 10 squad in this week’s rankings as they are in year two of the Wes Johnson era.

 

 

 

 



UGA Probable Pitching Rotation; FGCU: TBA

Fri.: Leighton Finley (1-0, 1.00 ERA), Sat. Game 1: Charlie Goldstein (0-0, 0.00 ERA; on a pitch count), G2: Alton Davis (2-0, 1.35 ERA); Sun.: JT Quinn (0-0, 6.00 ERA; on a pitch count)

 

 

 

 

Answering The Call To The Bullpen

Georgia has a 3.11 ERA with 103 Ks and 44 BBs in 84 IP. Opponents are hitting .205 against the Bulldogs. The bullpen has been amazing to date, just look at the numbers:

Georgia Starters: 1-1, 9.43 ERA, 21 IP, 22 R, 22 ER, 26 H, 24 K, 15 BB; Opp. BA: .210 

Georgia Bullpen: 8-0, 1.00 ERA, 4 SV, 63 IP, 10 R, 7 ER, 34 H, 79 K, 29 BB; Opp. BA: .091

Points To Ponder On The 2025 Bulldogs

     *Twelve different position players have started a game for the Bulldogs with five starting all 10 this season: Slate AlfordKolby BranchRobbie BurnettNolan McCarthy and Tre Phelps.

     *Twenty pitchers have seen action, seven have at least one win, and the innings leader is junior Leighton Finley (1-0, 1.00 ERA) with nine.     

    *Four Bulldogs have a save: Brian CurleyMatthew HoskinsDJ Radtke and Jordan Stephens.     

    *The Bulldogs began the game against UIC on Feb. 23 with a team cycle. Ryan Black led off with a single; Slate Alford smashed a double; Robbie Burnett followed with a two-run game-tying triple; and Daniel Jackson cranked a two-run home run for a 4-2 lead in an eventual 17-3 rout.

    *Twice this season, the bullpen has provided 7.2 scoreless innings and allowed just one hit in a game. The first time came in a 6-2 road loss to UNCW on Feb. 16 and then again in a 7-3 road win over Ga. State on Feb. 26.
