BSB: Presbyterian visits Foley Field Today
Seventh-ranked Georgia returns to action Tuesday when Presbyterian visits Foley Field. The first pitch will be at 3:02 p.m. (SECN+).
The Bulldogs (29-5, 8-4 SEC) are coming off a road sweep at the hands of then No. 5 Texas. Georgia entered that series among the national leaders in scoring, averaging 10.5 runs a game. However, Texas held Georgia to eight runs and a .156 batting average (15-for-96). Georgia’s pitching was adequate, limiting the Longhorns to a .211 mark, but UT posted wins of 5-1, 7-4, and 4-3 in 10 innings. The Blue Hose won a series over Longwood this past weekend to improve to 16-17. In the series history, Georgia leads PC
21-4. PC won the first four contests in 1943, and since then, the Bulldogs have won 21 straight, including a 4-3 decision last year.
UGA-PC Pitching Matchup
Zach Harris (2-0, 3.55 ERA), Jr., RHP vs. JJ Harrell (0-1, 6.46 ERA), Fr., LHP
Harris makes his eighth appearance, including his fifth start. He started Opening Day instead of Kolten Smith, who was a late scratch. Harris pitched 4.0 innings versus Quinnipiac. His last three starts have all been part of staff outings. He won last Tuesday against Queens as the Bulldogs employed seven pitchers. This year, Harris has thrown 12.2 innings with seven strikeouts and six walks. Harrell makes his second start for the Blue Hose. In 15.1 innings, he has 16 strikeouts and 15 walks.
Quick Look At The Offense
The Bulldogs are batting .310 with a .601 slugging percentage and 87 home runs. They have a .455 OB% with 214 walks, have been hit 84 times, plus are 45-for-50 in SBs. The team’s leading hitters are roommates Ryland Zaborowski (.412-14-49, .918 SLG%) and Robbie Burnett (.336-15-49, 29 BB, 17 HBP, 11 SB). Texas’ pitching shut down the Bulldogs. Still, Zaborowski and Burnett rank among the NCAA leaders in home runs, slugging percentage, on base percentage, and RBI. Recently, Zaborowski was named the NCBWA Hitter of the Month for March, to the Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List and a midseason All-American by multiple outlets. Burnett made the second team midseason All-America lists, too.
Georgia entered the UT series as the NCAA leader in home runs but only hit three (all solo shots) in the pitcher-friendly Disch-Falk Field. Graduate Nolan McCarthy (.333-8-30) hit two of them. Also of note, Tre Phelps (.305-5-26) who reached base safely in the first 27 games this year, has missed the last seven games due to a hamstring injury.
PC is batting .290 with 22 home runs, a .420 slugging percentage, and a .375 on base percentage. They are 47-for-64 in stolen base attempts. The leading hitters for PC are Jake Randolph (.398-2-24, 6 SB) and Trey Fenderson (.371-1-15, 8 SB).

GYM: Lily Smith and Ady Wahl Qualify for the 2025 NCAA women’s gymnastics championships
University of Georgia sophomore gymnasts Lily Smith and Ady Wahl secured individual qualifications for the 2025 NCAA women’s gymnastics championships in Fort Worth, Texas on Thursday, April 17 at Dickies Arena. Smith will compete on the floor exercise while Wahl will compete on vault.
The sophomores captured bids based on their performances in the NCAA Washington Regional on Friday, April 4, as the highest individual routine scores by a gymnast of a non-advancing team on their respective events.
Wahl recorded a 9.900 on the vault to earn her place in the competition. Smith posted a 9.925 on the floor, capturing a 10 from one judge, which served as a tiebreaker for qualification between her and the other individuals with identical floor routine scores.
The competition will be broadcast on ESPN2, beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET on April 17, with the trophy presentation streaming on ESPN+ following the team competition on April 19 at 6:00 p.m. ET.
