Let's Recap
Georgia shut out Gardner-Webb Wednesday evening 6-0 behind a one-hitter from sophomore right-hander Britton Rogers. Rogers went the distance in the circle, working seven complete innings. She struck out a career-best 11 hitters with no walks and took a perfect game bid into the seventh, losing it on a one-out single to center. The offense scored six runs on nine hits. Sydney Chambley and Jaiden Fields each picked up two hits while Sara Mosley and Jayda Kearney drove in two runs each in the midweek contest. No Georgia hitters recorded a strikeout in the contest.

Coaching Connection
Head coach Tony Baldwin's first full-time coaching job was at North Carolina under Donna Papa. Baldwin was on staff in Chapel Hill from 2013 to 2014.

She touched home eight times herself and drove in seven runs on the weekend. She had a career game against Delaware, recording three hits: two home runs and a triple, with four RBI.
