Fast Facts
Key Quotes
Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On what stood out about Troy...
"They're a good club. I told everybody they were going to be a good club coming in. Their record doesn't indicate what they're doing. They're capable. They're picked along with Southern Mississippi to be at the top of their league. Southern Mississippi is twelfth in the country right now. These two teams are going to be in regionals."
#1 Tre Phelps | Jr. | INF/OF
On what the team can learn from this game…
"I feel like it kind of shows every out is important, every pitch, either side of the ball is important. So, just being able to go back to the drawing board and see what we can learn from what we did wrong today to be able to not have this happen again this year."
Up Next
No. 8 Georgia (6-2) will face Oakland in a four-game series beginning Friday afternoon, with first pitch set for 3 p.m. The game will be available to stream on SEC Network+ and the Georgia Bulldogs Sports Network.
Fast Facts
- Junior Tre Phelps (2-3, 2 RBI) extended his hitting streak to 22 games, dating back to last season.
- Junior Daniel Jackson (1-5, 1 RBI, HR) hit his fifth home run of the season and the 31st of his career, a solo shot in the bottom of the seventh inning.
- In the bottom of the eighth, Georgia rallied for two runs on three hits, highlighted by a two-RBI single from Phelps that drove in senior Kolby Branch (1-3) and junior Ryan Wynn to give the Bulldogs a late lead.
- Georgia's pitching combined for 13 strikeouts over 12 innings, with multiple relievers working out of pressure situations to keep the game within reach into extra innings. However, Troy pushed across the winning run on a bases-loaded wild pitch to even its record at 4-4.
