Jarvis Evans Named SEC Co-Freshman Of The Week
May 08, 2023 | Baseball
ATHENS-----University of Georgia pitcher Jarvis Evans has been named the Southeastern Conference Co-Freshman of the Week; the league office announced Monday.
A 6-4, 200-pound native of Buford, Ga., Evans posted a pair of stellar performances including a win over No. 18 Tennessee Saturday as the Bulldogs would go on to claim the series. When starter Charlie Goldstein left the game due to injury after facing the first batter of the game, Evans stepped up and delivered 5.1 innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts, both career-highs. He led the Bulldogs to a 3-1 victory and snapped Tennessee's nine-game winning streak. Evans earned the win and that was his second over a top 20 SEC ranked opponent this season. UT was averaging 12 runs a game during their streak.
For Evans, it was his second appearance of the week after making his first career start last Tuesday against Kennesaw State. He provided 3.2 innings and struck out a then career-high six. He got a no decision as Georgia eventually won 10-9. For the week, Evans went 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA, pitching nine innings with three walks and 13 strikeouts while allowing three runs on five hits. Kentucky's Travis Smith was the other freshman honored by the league after he beat No. 3 South Carolina in his first career SEC start.
This season, Evans is 2-0 with a 4.80 ERA in eight appearances including one start. In 15 innings, he has 19 strikeouts and just five walks.
Up next, Georgia (27-21) plays host to USC Upstate (32-16) Wednesday at Foley Field. First pitch is slated for 6:02 p.m., and the game will be available on SEC Network+ and the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
