April 11, 2022 | Baseball
ATHENS, GA.------ The Georgia Bulldogs finish a five-game road swing Tuesday against Kennesaw State. First pitch will be at 7 p.m., and the game will be available on ESPN+ and the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
Georgia (24-8, 8-4 SEC) is ranked as high as No. 10 this week. The Bulldogs are No. 10 in the USA TODAY Sports Top 25 Coaches poll, No. 12 in Baseball America and No. 13 in D1Baseball.com and Collegiate Baseball. The Owls, fresh off a road sweep at Stetson, are 21-9 and receiving votes in the top 25 polls but are not ranked.
Georgia, under the direction of Ike Cousins head baseball coach Scott Stricklin, is batting .292 with 38 home runs while posting a 4.90 ERA and a .976 fielding percentage. This past weekend, the Bulldogs won a road series against South Carolina despite not having ace RHP Jonathan Cannon. The Owls are batting .304 with 26 home runs while posting a 4.71 ERA and a .966 fielding percentage under first-year coach Ryan Coe. The Georgia-KSU series began in 2006, and the Bulldogs lead 18-11. The teams split a two-game set last year with each team winning at home.
Graduate LF Connor Tate (.356-4-27) leads the Bulldogs in batting and ranks among the conference leaders with a .395 average in SEC games. Graduate CF and co-captain Ben Anderson (.333-6-20, .467 OB%) has reached base safely in 30 consecutive games. Sophomore C/DH Corey Collins (.306-8-26) leads the team with eight home runs while Anderson and sophomore 1B/3B Parks Harber are next with six apiece. Last season, Collins hit eight, Harber had three while Anderson had seven for his career entering this year. Harber batted .500 (8-for-16) in four games last week with two home runs and six RBI plus four runs scored. Meanwhile on the mound, senior closer and co-captain Jack Gowen (1-0, 1.89 ERA, 5 SV) picked up a pair of saves in helping Georgia win the series at South Carolina. Overall last week, he made three appearances for a total of 5.2 innings, allowing one run on three hits with no walks and 10 strikeouts. In SEC action, he is 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA and three saves in five appearances.
On Deck: On Thursday, Georgia resumes SEC play with a home series against Texas A&M (19-12, 6-6 SEC). Game times at Foley Field are 6 pm on Thursday and 6 p.m. on Friday with Saturday's contest at 4 p.m. The Aggies are coming off an SEC home series win over Kentucky. Georgia did not face Texas A&M until the Aggies joined the SEC in 2013. Texas A&M holds an 11-6 edge in the series including winning a series in College Station last year 2-1. Georgia took the series 2-1 in 2018 when the Aggies made their last visit to Foley Field. Texas A&M faces Texas A&M-CC on Tuesday before coming to Athens.
