A Look at What's Ahead
Georgia welcomes the Cowgirls of No. 15 Oklahoma State to Athens on Wednesday, March 26 for midweek action. First pitch on SEC Network is set for 7 p.m. It's a RED OUT! The first 250 fans will receive a red t-shirt.

Let's Recap
Georgia run ruled the Georgia State Panthers on Wednesday, 8-0 in five innings. Rachel Gibson pitched her third complete game of the season and her third shutout, working five innings. She allowed just two hits and struck out three batters. The Bulldogs plated five runs in the fifth en route to the run-rule victory. With bases loaded, an error at the plate on a fielder's choice plated two runs, then Mua Williams contributed a two-RBI single to right to bring the score to 7-0. Paislie Allen plugged the right-center gap to drive in Williams and walk off the Panthers, 8-0.
Tyler Ellison's fifth home run of the season was a two-out, two-run shot to center in the bottom of the first to put Georgia on the board, 2-0. Williams and Allen paced the offense with two hits apiece. Lyndi Rae Davis drew three walks, tying a career high.

Goodwin Paces the Offense
Through the first month of the season, junior Jaydyn Goodwin is having a career year so far. She leads the team with a .697 slugging, 25 runs, 32 hits, six home runs, four triples, and 62 total bases and is second on the team with a .360 batting average and 26 RBI. Goodwin has registered the most multi-hit games (9) and multi-RBI games (8).

Starting Strong
42 of Georgia's 157 runs (27 percent) have come in the first inning. The Bulldogs have scored five or more runs in the first inning six times. UGA has pushed a run across in the first inning in 15 games, going 14-1 in those games.

Packing The Jack
Georgia fans came out strong for last weekend's Tennessee series, packing Jack Turner Stadium and recording two top-10 attendances. Saturday's crowd of 2,316 was the fourth largest in stadium history. Sunday's game drew 2,198. In all, 6,585 came out for the Bulldogs and Lady Vols series. That number sets a new series attendance record at Jack Turner Stadium beating out the previous record of 6,226 against No. 2 Florida in 2018.
