The Georgia Bulldogs took their first loss of the season on Sunday evening in Wilmington, North Carolina. UNCW wins the final game of the weekend, 6 to 2.

It was not an ideal start to the fourth and final game of the opening weekend series for the Diamond Dawgs. After going three-up and three-down in the top half of the first inning, the Georgia Bulldogs watched their Sunday starter, Zach Brown hit out of the contest while only recording one out and allowing 6 earned runs to start the game.

The bats were a major problem for the Bulldogs on Sunday as well, failing to garner a hit in the contest until Devin Obee hit a home run to left field in the top of the 8th inning. The 8th inning continued to get rather interesting following the lead-off home run. Several scrappy at-bats led to a bases-loaded, two-out opportunity for Slate Alford who was hit by a pitch to bring home the second Dawgs run of the inning. Though Cade Brown's fly out to right field left the bases loaded shortly after.

It should be noted that Georgia's weekend pitching rotation was altered Friday morning when SP, Kolten Smith woke up with back spasms and was scratched from the Friday afternoon start. It was a recovery effort from the staff as a whole following that point.

Georgia's bullpen performed admirably after the exit from the starter Zach Brown, they didn't allow a hit following the 6-run first inning until the bottom of the 8th inning.
