Final: 11-1 UGA.

In their last matchup, the Dawgs were unable to score when they left the bases loaded in three different innings. The Trojans are sitting exactly at .500 (22-22). They are fourth in the Sunbelt division, as the Dawgs hold a 0.5 game lead over Texas A&M in the SEC.

The Dawgs are coming off a series win over the Ole Miss Rebels. An impressive series win, but it could have been a series sweep. The Dawgs would lose game one after being up 8-0. Nonetheless, the Dawgs are proving why they are a dominant team that could perform well in the postseason. There are only 10 games left in the regular season.

For the Dawgs to hold onto their SEC lead, it all starts today. They will have to keep doing what they've been doing all season: producing runs early and playing lights-out defense. Ryan Wynn played great defensively in the series against Ole Miss. Wynn played second base and recorded multiple putouts.

Now is a great time for the team to get hot. Daniel Jackson has been providing multiple runs for the Dawgs throughout the season, and he is starting to heat up again. In the matchup against Ole Miss, Tre Phelps was hit by a pitch on his knee. Thankfully, Phelps remained in the game. It will be interesting to see if that is still affecting him today or if he will continue to play with dominance.

The rain has cleared, and the conditions will be partly cloudy with a breeze blowing towards center field. Expect to see a lot of long balls today.
