The team rode an impressive outing by Trevor Holder on Friday into the weekend and saw a significant improvement in offensive production on Saturday before completing the sweep Sunday in a heated 6-4 ball game.
From our biased perspective, Perno and his squad seem to be the class of the Eastern Division--if not the conference--at this point. Certainly, there is ample time for a number of teams to change the current pecking order with several big SEC series remaining in the season. It does bode well for UGA, though, that their pitching staff can keep them in a game as equally as their offensive weapons.
As far as a star watch would go, Gordon Beckham and Joshua Fields lived up to the hype this weekend. Beckham hit .500 for the series and Fields was overpowering Friday and Sunday while keeping his season ERA at 0.00. The team also received significant contributions from Ryan Peisel, Matt Olson, and Rich Poythress while Lyle Allen, Bryce Massanari and Matt Cerione all tallied several hits.
Catch the team in action Tuesday at 5pm when they take on East Tennessee State. They have been putting on a good show for their increasing crowds.
