Georgia-Auburn Series Begins Thursday Night
March 22, 2023 | Baseball
ATHENS-----The Georgia-Auburn baseball series begins Thursday on the SEC Network with both teams looking for their first victory in league play. First pitch will be at 7:02 p.m. ET, and it will be available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
Georgia posted an 8-3 win over Georgia State Tuesday at Coolray Field, the Triple-A home of the Gwinnett Stripers, in Lawrenceville. The Bulldogs are in a stretch where they play eight of their next nine games on the road. Last weekend in the SEC, the Bulldogs (14-7, 0-3 SEC) were swept by No. 14 South Carolina (20-1) while the Tigers (14-6, 0-3 SEC) dropped all three league contests at seventh-ranked Arkansas (18-2). Before the USC series, Georgia hadn't been swept in an SEC series since 2019 (at Miss. State), and that year Georgia finished 21-9 in the SEC.
Series History: Auburn leads the all-time series with Georgia 151-125-3 in records dating to 1897. The road team has won the last three series (Auburn going 2-1 in Athens in 2017 and 2021; Georgia went 2-1 in 2019 in Auburn). The last time Georgia began league play 0-3 was 2017 when it was swept at No. 6 LSU, Then, it returned home to face Auburn and won game two of the series.
Bombs Away: Home runs are a common theme around the nation this season. Who knows if it's the hitters, the pitching, the baseball, the bats, regardless the balls are flying out of the yard. This past weekend, Georgia faced the national leader in USC, and the Gamecocks hit eight long balls to Georgia's four. Georgia began the week ranked fifth nationally with 45 home runs.
Georgia redshirt-freshman OF/1B Charlie Condon (.500-9-36) ranks among the national leaders in batting, slugging, RBI and home runs. He has hit safely in 20 games and has a team-leading 14 multi-hit games and 10 multi-RBI games. On Saturday, graduate OF Connor Tate (.463-7-24) saw his 22-game hitting streak end. Junior 3B/1B Parks Harber (.316-8-22) had the best series against USC, hitting .556 (5-for-9) with a double, two home runs and four RBI. He has a nine-game hitting streak.
The Bulldogs have hit at least one home run in 18 of 21 games this year. Thirteen different Bulldogs have hit a home run this season. Auburn has tallied 25 home runs including a combined 16 by senior Bryson Ware (.421-9-23) and Justin Kirby (.273-7-20).
On The Mound: The Bulldogs have a 5.82 ERA with 232 strikeouts and 102 walks. Auburn sports a 5.30 ERA with 196 strikeouts and 80 walks. Georgia's rotation will feature freshman RHP Kolten Smith (1-0, 5.19), junior LHP Jaden Woods (3-0, 2.96) and junior LHP Liam Sullivan (3-1, 2.28). Auburn will counter with graduate LHP Tommy Vail (2-1, 2.55) on Thursday and freshman LHP Zach Crotchfelt (0-1, 4.87) on Saturday. The Tigers have not announced a Friday starter.
