Live Updates - Georgia Baseball VS Oakland, Game Two And Three

Follow along as the Dawgs (7-2) play a doubleheader today against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies(1-7).

Yesterday, the Dawgs handled the Golden Grizzlies with ease, beating them 16-6. Ryan Black started the game off with a lead-off home run, which eventually paved the way for a run-rule win. Starting pitcher, Joey Volchko, made it through 5 innings and was put in a decent amount of high-stress situations, which was his first of the year. He handled the situation beautifully and only allowed a couple of runs.

UGA catcher Daniel Jackson had a record day yesterday. On the field, he threw two people out in one inning, and also at the plate, he hit two home runs in one inning. He tallied up a total of 6 RBI's, which ties his career high from last season. "The Rhino" continues to stay hot and will look to add on to his impressive resume as the season continues.

Most of the runs for the Golden Grizzlies came from infield singles. Unlucky bounces and fast runners helped them get on base and score a couple of runs. Which is nothing to be ashamed about because you reach base on an infield single 9 out of 10 times, but in one inning, they were able to reach on infield hits three times.

UGA pitcher Bradley Stewart went into the game to warm up in the 7th inning. As he was warming up, he tweaked something in his lat, which drew the attention of the medical team. The southpaw was removed from the game before he threw his first pitch. UGA is limited with left-handed pitchers, making this injury a serious one.

1st Inning: Oakland Records A Two Out Double. UGA Records A Lead Off Single (0-0).

Top: Caden Aoki takes the mound for the Dawgs. Aidan Schuck will get the game going by striking out swinging. Patton climbs in next, and he flies out directly to Rylan Lujo in center field. Revere looks to avoid a three-and-out, and he extends the inning by lacing a double that gets past Phelps at third. Day is next up, and he grounds out to second.

Bottom: George Hansen will start on the mound for the Golden Grizzlies. Ryan Black will lead off for the Dawgs, and he knocks a base hit to left. Phelps looks to stay hot at the plate, but he flies out to deep left-center field. Jackson climbs into the box, and Black tries to steal second but overslides the base and dances around it until he is tagged out. Jackson then grounds out softly to second base.

Pre Game Storylines:

Starting lineup for the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, starting on the mound, LHP George Hansen. Rf Aidan Schuck, lf Sam Patton, ss Kyle Revere, 1b Lucas Day, 2b Carter Hain, dh Jack Lux, c Ben Clark, cf Aidan Orr, and 3b Boston Halloran.

Starting lineup for the Georgia Bulldogs, starting on the mound, RHP Caden Aoki. Rf Ryan Black, 3b Tre Phelps, dh Daniel Jackson, lf Henry Allen, 1b Brennan Hudson, ss Kolby Branch, c Jack Arcamone, cf Rylan Lujo, and 2b Ryan Wynn.

Tre Phelps will look to extend his hitting streak to 23 games, which dates back to last season. Phelps has developed great at-bats every time he steps up to the batter's box. A hitter that pitchers fear, because Phelps can do it all. Oakland is projected to throw a left-hander on the mound today, so expect Rylan Lujo to start and play the whole game. Lujo will be coming off a disappointing performance at the plate against Troy.

The last time the Dawgs played a doubleheader was against Wright State. They split the double header with UGA taking the first and Wright State taking the second. When we interviewed Phelps, he said the loss came from a lack of focus. It will be interesting to watch the Dawgs today to see if they remain focused during the 18 innings (two games) of baseball.
