Georgia Sweeps Athens Regional

Dominant pitching with timely late offense sets up a Super Regional at Foley Field against the Starkville winner.

Overview

  • Georgia finished 3-0 in the Athens Regional to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals after a regional-clinching win over Liberty.
  • Caden Aoki delivered six strong innings with 11 strikeouts and Zach Brown closed with three scoreless frames to anchor the pitching staff.
  • The Bulldogs broke a scoreless stretch with a Tre Phelps two-run homer in the sixth and added four insurance runs in the eighth.
  • Phelps was ejected after celebrating and faces a suspension that is expected to sideline him for the Super Regional opener while coach Wes Johnson was also ejected but will not miss Game 1.
  • Georgia will host the winner of the Starkville Regional in the Super Regionals, a best-of-three series scheduled for June 5–8 and streamed on ESPN platforms, with pitching depth likely to shape the matchup and College World Series hopes.
