Georgia Begins Four-Game Series With Akron Friday
February 24, 2022 | Baseball
ATHENS ------The No. 15 Georgia Bulldogs open a four-game series with Akron Friday at Foley Field. First pitch set for 5:02 p.m, and the game will be available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network and streamed on SEC Network+.
The Bulldogs (4-0) welcome the Zips (1-2) who are making their first trip to Foley Field. The Bulldogs have a chance to match and even eclipse their best start under Ike Cousins head baseball coach Scott Stricklin. The 2020 Bulldogs began the year 7-0. The Zips are coached by former nine-year Major League Baseball veteran Chris Sabo. They dropped a road series to Lipscomb last weekend in Nashville.
Georgia enters the Akron series batting .291 with a 2.50 ERA and a .986 fielding percentage. Akron is batting .291 with an 8.28 ERA and a .933 fielding percentage. Georgia has hit at least one home run in every game this season and has eight total. Graduate CF Ben Anderson is enjoying a solid start for the Bulldogs, batting .667 (6-for-9) with two home runs, three RBI and four walks. Graduate SS Cole Tate is next at .412 (7-for-17) with a home run, three RBI and perfect fielding in 14 total chances.
The Bulldogs will employ the same rotation as last weekend with one addition because this is a four-game series. Saturday's action will be a doubleheader (two nine-inning games) starting at 2 p.m. The series concludes Sunday with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. Georgia's pitching staff has held its opponents to a .185 batting average. The school record, set by the 2019 team, is .200, while last year's squad finished with the second best mark at .226.
