BATTLE OF THE BULLDOGS
No. 3 Georgia and No. 14 Mississippi State met for a series in Starkville back in April and again during the SEC Tournament in Hoover. UGA swept all three road games (10-9, 3-1, 8-5 in 10 innings) and won the tournament matchup 5-3.
Georgia hasn’t made the College World Series since 2008 when they finished as the national runner-ups to Fresno State. The Bulldogs only CWS championship came in 1990.
NO TRE PHELPS
Georgia will be without one of its stars for Game 1 on Saturday. Tre Phelps will have to serve a one-game suspension after he was ejected in Sunday’s win over Liberty.
Phelps celebrated his go-ahead home run in the sixth inning and looked toward the Liberty dugout.
Head coach Wes Johnson told reporters that Phelps’ parents were sitting on that side of the field and that Phelps was waving to them. Johnson was also ejected from the game.
