July 09, 2019 | Baseball
ATHENS-----Here's a midsummer update on the Georgia Bulldogs playing baseball including rising sophomore pitcher Cole Wilcox who is in Taiwan with the USA Collegiate National Team.
USA Collegiate Baseball National Team
After getting a USA Team Camp invitation, Wilcox made the 26-man roster. He helped the squad capture the 8th USA vs. Cuba International Friendship Series. Wilcox notched a win in relief on July 4th in Charlotte. He entered the game with USA trailing 2-0 in the fifth and then pitched three scoreless innings with no walks and three strikeouts while scattering five hits. Currently, he is with the team in Taiwan for the 19th USA vs. Chinese Taipei International Friendship Series.
Wilcox spent the first part of the summer in the Cape Cod League playing for the Orleans Cardinals before leaving for Team USA Camp. He made two starts for Orleans, going 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in eight innings with six walks and 10 strikeouts. Later this month, USA Baseball will announce a final 24-man roster to compete in the 43rd USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Series from July 16-21 in Japan that will close out its summer schedule.
