KENNESAW, Ga. — No. 8 Georgia blasted Kennesaw State 11-1 in its first road test Tuesday, winning in eight innings due to the run-rule.

Redshirt sophomore Paul Farley (1-0) tossed a career-high six innings in his first career start to earn a win. He scattered one run on four hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
Junior 3B Tre Phelps (1-3, HR, 3 R, 2 RBI) extended his hitting streak to 27-games with a two-run home run in the first. It was his sixth home run of the year and 28^th of his career. It was part of a three-run outburst.
The Bulldogs erupted for five runs in the fifth to extend their lead to 8-1. Senior DH Jordy Oriach delivered a three-run double to key the outburst.
Senior Michael O'Shaughnessy crushed a three-run opposite field home run in the eighth to make it 11-1.
Right-hander Brad Pruett provided two scoreless innings with two strikeouts to close it out for the Bulldogs.

Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On the team's performance Tuesday.
"We got six games in six days and for Paul (Farley) to come out tonight and give us six innings of one-run baseball was huge. He attacked the strike zone, got some quick outs. We knew they were going to be aggressive. He commanded the zone, worked the edges and was really good. Offensively, Tre Phelps starts us off again with a great swing on a two-run homer in the first. Our hitters were locked in all night. Our coaches did a great job preparing them. Jordy (Oriach) had a big double to clear the bases and Michael (O'Shaughnessy) with a three-run homer late. Kennesaw is a good ballclub, probably the best I've seen in my time here. They are going to win a lot of ball games but our offense was phenomenal tonight."
