BSB: Georgia Announces Its 2025 Schedule

If you love baseball, Georgia’s 2025 season begins on Valentine’s Day in Wilmington, N.C. as part of a four-game series with the Seahawks.

 

 

 

 

Georgia’s home opener at Foley Field, which has undergone a $45 million renovation over the past two years, will be Thursday, Feb. 20, against the University of Illinois Chicago. The Bulldogs will play a 56-game regular season schedule, with 33 contests at Foley Field and 23 games on the road.

Georgia enters year two under the direction of Ike Cousins head baseball coach Wes Johnson. In 2024, the Bulldogs posted a 43-17 mark, won an NCAA Regional in Athens and were a game short of advancing to the College World Series. The Bulldogs welcome back a trio of starters in Tre Phelps (.353-12-40), Kolby Branch (.267-17-58) and Slate Alford (.300-17-69), most of the pitching staff including starters Leighton Finley (6-1, 4.14), Kolten Smith (9-3, 5.56), Charlie Goldstein (4-1, 3.72) and Zach Harris (5-2, 6.87) plus feature one of the nation’s top newcomer classes, ranked as high as seventh nationally. Phelps, Smith and transfer pitcher Alton Davis II (4-2, 5.61, 4 SV) played for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team this past summer.

The Bulldogs will begin their 30-game Southeastern Conference schedule March 14-16 in Athens against Kentucky. Georgia’s other four SEC home series will be against Auburn (March 28-30), Arkansas (Apr. 11-13), Oklahoma (Apr. 24-26), and it will close out the regular season with Texas A&M (May 15-17). The five SEC road series will be against Florida (March 21-23), Texas (Apr. 4-6), Vanderbilt (Apr. 17-19) Missouri (May 2-4) and Alabama (May 9-11). The Commodore series in Nashville and the series with the Sooners and Aggies at Foley Field are slated to be Thursday-Saturday. Also of note, SEC standings now will be kept in a single-division format.

 

 

 

 

Georgia returns to Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, on April 15th when it will face Georgia Tech in the 22nd annual Spring Classic. The Bulldogs hold a 14-7 edge in the game that benefits Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Georgia swept Tech last year during the regular season and then eliminated them in the NCAA Athens Regional.

The SEC Tournament will be held May 20-25 in Hoover, Ala. It will be the first SEC Tournament to include every league team in a single-elimination format. NCAA Regional action will be May 30-June 2 with Super Regionals slated for June 6-9, both played at various campus sites. The College World Series (CWS) will be conducted June 13-23 in Omaha, Neb.

Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.
