Last week, Georgia went 1-2, dropping a home series to #7 Ole Miss. Georgia salvaged the final game of the series with a 13-2 rout of the Rebels, smashing three home runs including a grand slam by senior shortstop Nick King and freshman catcher Michael Curry’s team-leading seventh shot, a three-run-blast. Curry hit .333 (4-for-12) with five RBI in the series against the Rebels, starting all three games at catcher with perfect fielding in 25 total chances.
 
 
Georgia’s leading hitters are juniors Skyler Weber (.317-4-28, 10 SB) and Stephen Wrenn (.294-4-23, 11 SB) while the RBI leader is sophomore Keegan McGovern (.253-5-29), who also has a team-high 33 walks. McGovern has started all 48 games in left field while Weber has made 33 starts in right field, 14 at catcher and one as a designated hitter. Weber has an eight-game hitting streak. Earlier this year, he had one that lasted 13 games.
 
 
On the mound, senior Heath Holder (3-3, 3.19 ERA) who leads the SEC in lowest opponent’s batting average at .162 and ranks among the top four nationally in fewest hits allowed per nine innings, carried a no-hitter into the sixth in a win over #7 Ole Miss this past Sunday. Holder struck out seven in seven innings, allowing just one run on three hits to help Georgia snap a five-game losing streak. Junior Robert Tyler (3-5, 3.98 ERA), a projected first-round draft pick this year, was lifted after four innings and six runs in his last start, a 6-4 loss to the Rebels. Sophomore Bo Tucker (3-4, 3.53 ERA) pitched five scoreless innings of relief against the Rebels while freshman Kevin Smith (3-1, 5.23 ERA) pitched one inning with two strikeouts in the series for his first action in a month due to tendonitis.
