The Bulldogs (6-2) went 4-0 last week including a three-game sweep of Samford, outscoring the Bulldogs from Alabama 45-5. This past Tuesday, Troy outlasted Georgia here 6-5 in 12 innings. Georgia left a season-high 16 men on base in the loss and had two on and nobody out in the 9th, two on and one out in the 10th and the bases loaded and one out in the 11th but failed to deliver a game-winner. The Trojans winning run scored on a two-out, bases-loaded wild pitch. The game lasted 4:33. Oakland went 1-2 at Lamar and then was swept in a four-game series at Southern Indiana this past weekend. The Golden Grizzlies visit Tennessee and Texas A&M after facing Georgia.
