Daniel Jackson has continued to be a bright spot for the Bulldogs, but he is not the only one. The Dawgs roster is extremely deep. During their matchup against Arkansas, Jack Arcamone was called up to play despite not appearing in a game in a week. The junior stepped up to the plate and delivered a deep shot to right that set the tone for the whole game.

The pitching for Georgia has been locked down, which is always a good sign going into the postseason. Joey Volchko has been the ace for the Bulldogs, and he is projected to get the nod tonight.

The Dawgs have three players who are in the top three for batting average (Daniel Jackson, Tre Phelps, and Rylan Lujo). A competition inside the competition seems to be a major drive for the Dawgs.
