The Georgia Baseball team continued their three-game series against Dayton with a double header on Saturday. Georgia won the first game of the day 10-7 and the second 13-1.

Emerson Hancock gave the pitching performance of his career thus far on Friday pitching almost seven innings of no-hit baseball. Things came a little more shaky on the mount Saturday

 

 

 

 

Will Proctor had his season debut pitching for five innings, giving away only two earned runs while striking out nine Flyers. He was pulled and replaced by Zac Kristofak after giving up a single to start off the sixth inning.

Georgia had an eight-run streak through the bottom of the fourth inning including two from Cam Shepherd. He scored again in the bottom of the sixth.

The shortstop went 0-for-3 with a walk on Friday but showed the fan base what he could do on Saturday. In game one, he went up to bat five times, reached base every time and went 2-for-2 with three walks. In game two, he was 3-for-4. Overall, he scored six of the eight times he reached base.
