May 01, 2023 | Baseball
ATHENS----- Georgia returns to Foley Field Tuesday when it plays host to Kennesaw State. First pitch will be at 6:02 p.m., and the game will be streamed on SEC Network+ and be available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
The Bulldogs (24-20) enters Tuesday's tilt looking to bounce back after a road series loss to Ole Miss that ended with an 8-7 walk-off Sunday by the Rebels. Georgia trailed 5-1 going to the seventh, tied the game 5-5 in the eighth and then 7-7 in the ninth before Ole Miss responded with a victory. The Owls (22-20) swept Jacksonville in a three-game conference series in Kennesaw this past weekend.
Series History: Georgia leads the all-time series with KSU 21-11 in records dating to 2006. The Bulldogs have won four straight in the series including last month's game in Kennesaw by a score of 6-4.
Recap: April 4, 2023 in Kennesaw: Georgia d. KSU 6-4
Georgia grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first before the Owls made it 3-2 in their half of the first. The Bulldogs answered with another three-run outburst in the second to chase KSU starter Brayden Eidson following a two-run triple by Corey Collins. It was the second career triple for Collins and made it 6-2. In the bottom of the second, freshman right-hander Leighton Finley was the second Bulldog pitcher to see action as part of a staff night. Finley (2-0) provided a career-high four innings and allowed just one run on four hits with a walk and four strikeouts for the win.
In the sixth with the Bulldogs holding a 6-3 lead, Georgia turned to graduate Dalton Rhadans. He pitched 1.2 innings before being lifted for sophomore Chandler Marsh with a runner at third and two outs in the seventh. KSU left fielder Nick Colina made it 6-4 with an RBI-single and then Marsh struck out Donovan Cash to send it to the eighth. The Owls threatened putting two on via a hit-by-pitch and a two-out walk before Marsh came back to register three strikeouts to maintain Georgia's two-run lead.
In the ninth, the Bulldogs brought in junior Collin Caldwell who walked two and struck out two as part of a scoreless frame for his first save this year. Eidson got the loss, allowing six runs on five hits in 1.1 innings.
On The Mound: Neither team has announced a starter for Tuesday's game, however most teams approach midweek contests as staff nights. For the season, the Bulldogs have a 6.32 ERA with 402 strikeouts and 218 walks. Opponents are batting .266 against the Bulldogs. The Owls sport a 5.18 ERA with 365 strikeouts and 191 walks.

Graduate Connor Tate ranks second on the club batting at .373-13-46 while junior Parks Harber checks in at .285-15-48. Condon and Tate are the only two Bulldogs to start all 44 games this year.
KSU is batting .293 with 47 home runs, a .403 on base percentage and is 44-for-63 in stolen base attempts. KSU's leading hitter is junior Brayden Eidson (.331-3-20; 1-4, 9.45 ERA) while sophomore Donovan Cash leads the team with eight home runs and 44 RBI while batting .309.
