ATHENS-----Georgia returns to Southeastern Conference play Friday against No. 18 Tennessee with first pitch at Foley Field slated for 6:02 p.m. ET Saturday's game will be at 2 p.m. and Sunday's at 1 p.m. The entire series will be available on SEC Network+ and the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
The Bulldogs (25-20, 8-13 SEC) face a red-hot Volunteer squad (31-14, 11-10 SEC) that has won eight straight including back-to-back SEC sweeps of Vanderbilt and Miss. State.

UT's SEC road trips took them to frigid Missouri where they were swept, dropped two of three at No. 1 LSU and then was swept by No. 4 Arkansas.
In SEC play, the Bulldogs are 5-4 at home starting when No. 14 USC swept Georgia in March. Then, the Bulldogs posted a series win over No. 10 Kentucky on Easter and most recently a sweep of No. 4 Arkansas in late April. After the USC sweep, Georgia played three of its next four series on the road including at No. 4 Vanderbilt and No. 2 Florida. Georgia started 1-9 in SEC action before making progress on "The Road to Hoover," site of the 2023 SEC Tournament. Georgia is 16-10 at Foley Field this year.

The Vols have claimed the past three series, winning 2-1 in '19, '21 and '22. The last sweep by either team came by Georgia in 2015 in Knoxville.
On The Mound: Freshman RHP Kolten Smith (2-1, 4.91) and redshirt junior LHP Charlie Goldstein (3-1, 4.50) will start the first two games for Georgia while it is TBA for Sunday. The Bulldogs have a 6.27 ERA with 413 strikeouts and 225 walks. Opponents are batting .265 versus Georgia.
The Vols feature one of the top pitching staffs in the country as they sport a 3.38 ERA (2nd nationally) with a national-leading 508 strikeouts and just 119 walks. Opponents are hitting .212 against the Vols. The UT rotation will be junior RHP Andrew Lindsey (0-2, 3.11) on Friday followed by junior RHP Chase Dollander (5-4, 4.24) on Saturday and sophomore RHP Drew Beam (6-2, 3.13) on Sunday.
At The Plate: Georgia is batting .286 with 80 home runs, a .389 OB% and is 24-for-28 in stolen base attempts. Redshirt freshman 1B/OF Charlie Condon is chasing the team's triple crown, batting .404-19-57. Also, Condon ranks in the top five in the SEC in most offensive categories.
