It wasn’t the bats, but Georgia’s discipline at the plate that brought home the runs on Friday night.

Georgia head coach David Perno said it was business as usual for [...]
Redshirt sophomore overcomes surgery, inconsistency, to become team ace
Surgery is never a good thing in sports. But in baseball, “Tommy John” elbow surgery has shown that players can come back even better than before. This was certainly the case for Georgia starting pitcher Alex Wood. In 2010, he had to watch from the dugout for almost his entire freshman season as he rehabilitated [...]
Diamond Dogs look to South Carolina game next weekend
The Georgia baseball team (25-20, 9-12 SEC) will face a difficult challenge in South Carolina (33-11, 14-7 SEC) the weekend of May 11.

Lack of power doesn’t bother Diamond Dogs
In the top of the ninth of last Saturday’s game at Florida, the Georgia baseball team was ahead by a narrow score of 4-3.

Diamond Dogs felled by late rally for second straight game, lose to LSU Tigers 8-4
For the second night in a row, the Georgia baseball needed six outs to win its game. And for the second night in a row, the Diamond Dogs just couldn’t get it. Georgia (24-20, 8-12 SEC) lost the second game of a series with LSU 8-4 Saturday night. The Diamond Dogs hope to salvage the [...]
Diamond Dogs can’t hold on to lead, fall to Tigers 6-5 in Baton Rouge
Friday wasn’t a blue-ribbon game on the bayou for head coach David Perno and the Georgia baseball team. The Diamond Dogs lost to the No. 4 LSU Tigers 6-5 in the first game of a crucial SEC series. After a stint earlier in the month when they appeared to be turning for the better, the [...]
Diamond Dogs looking to stay within ‘striking distance’ in weekend matchup against LSU Tigers
The Georgia baseball team hasn’t won a game on Sunday since Feb. 26 against Winthrop. Tonight marks the start of the weekend series match up against LSU, and will be the Diamond Dogs second consecutive conference series on the road.

BASEBALL NOTEBOOK: Perno says Diamond Dogs ‘have got to ride’ starting pitching duo for remainder of season
By this point in the season, the only thing that Georgia’s baseball team has proven is that it is an enigma. With a single play separating the series at No. 1 Florida last weekend, Georgia head coach David Perno believes his guys then moved backwards Tuesday night with the 4-3 loss to Georgia Tech. “I [...]
