ATHENS, GA.------The Georgia Bulldogs play host to Presbyterian Tuesday at Foley Field with first pitch slated for 6:02 p.m. (SECN+). The game will be available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
 
Georgia is 33-18 overall and 14-13 in the SEC. The Bulldogs are tied for second in the East with Vanderbilt and tied for fifth overall in the league with VU and LSU. The Bulldogs have the No. 7 RPI including going 9-9 versus top 25 teams. The Bulldogs are ranked as high as No. 25 (USA TODAY Sports Top 25 Coaches) in the major polls this week. Georgia is batting .285 with 62 home runs while posting a 5.54 ERA and a .978 fielding percentage. 
 
The Blue Hose (22-28) are batting .271 with 37 home runs, a 6.67 ERA and a .959 fielding percentage. PC has dropped its last six games including getting swept by Gardner-Webb this past weekend. Georgia and PC will use a staff night on the mound. The Bulldogs will start freshman RHP Coleman Willis  (1-0, 9.42 ERA) while the Blue Hose counter with senior RHP Jordan Art (1-0, 15.75 ERA).
 
Graduate All-SEC OF candidate Connor Tate (.356-10-51) leads the team in batting, home runs and RBI this season and has been even better in SEC action at .386-7-25. He has a team-best 23 multi-hit games this year and has a chance at the team's Triple Crown (Avg.-HR-RBI). His twin brother, graduate 3B/SS Cole Tate (.338-4-21), returned to action this past weekend in the UT series after being limited last week versus Vanderbilt. He had missed 13 games due to a stress fracture in his leg. Against the Vols, Cole Tate hit .600 (6-for-10) with a double, two home runs, two walks and five RBI. Georgia defeated top-ranked 8-3 Tennessee this past Saturday, and the Tate twins combined to go 3-for-8 with three runs scored and four RBI in the victory.
