Final: 4-0 UGA

In the Dawgs' matchup against Troy, the Dawgs' offense came to life. Daniel Jackson hit two homers, a two-run homer and a three-run homer. Kenny Ishikawa recorded his first homer as a Georgia Bulldog. The momentum all started from Rylan Lujo's triple towards the beginning of the game.

Jordan Stephens pitched four flawless innings, including four strikeouts. His ERA dropped by nearly three. A great bounce back for the righty as we are nearing the end of the regular season. The defense of Georgia has been a shining party as they have backed up the pitchers by recording impressive outs.

Missouri is coming into Athens with nothing to lose and will be a scrappy team. They haven't performed the greatest in the SEC, but this conference is the toughest in the nation. The tigers are coming off an impressive upset win. They beat #24 Arkansas 6-1 in their series finale. Proving that there is no game to sleep through in the SEC.

The Dawgs will have to keep playing the way they have throughout the season to earn this series win. Which is, scoring runs with runners in scoring position, having long outings by starting pitchers, and the defense has to be on their toes to keep recording incredible put-outs.
