Follow along as the University of Georgia plays Wright state in a double header today. Game two of the series starts at 1 p.m and game three starts at 4:45 p.m.

Yesterday's recap can be found here.

A beautiful day for baseball! Cloudy conditions and a high of only 62 degrees. The clouds will stay for the second game today, but the temperature will drop slightly. The University of Georgia took game one of the series yesterday by a score of 13-1. The dawgs provided fireworks on offense as two home runs were hit. The defense was also outstanding as pitching did not seem to be a big issue yesterday. The dawgs will look to take the series win today at 1p.m and get the series sweep at 4:45. Yesterday fans packed Foley Field from the stands all the way to the field behind the right field wall. Since todays game is on a Saturday I expect for the stadium to be full even more, as college students do not have any classes today. The dawgs will look to keep their bats hot to keep the energy high in the stadium.
