Han Vance on Georgia baseball: On the college diamond, as many as seven national polls are considered valid. The D1 Baseball Top 25 rankings of April 9th were used in the compilation of this article, and an update to that poll will occur shortly prior to publication, so I expect some minor shifting in rankings, which have a good bit of numeric variety across the way-too-many polls, anyway.
 
 
No matter how you slice it, the Diamond Dawgs are scrappy and relevant this season, having entered into their toughest stretch to-date. First (#11) Clemson, the University of Georgia’s nearest geographic rival, opted to play their would-be home game at a new neutral site minor league professional ballpark in North Augusta, South Carolina. The Dawgs got the huge win behind stellar defense.Continue Reading

Han Vance on Georgia baseball: Coming off what I deemed the biggest win of the season so far, over top ten Clemson in North Augusta, South Carolina, the Diamond Dawgs won away from home while resting their best player, a sore Keegan McGovern. Behind versatile closer/third baseman Aaron Schunk, Georgia got the job done. Folks, it is time to get excited about the diamond. Veering into the personal and historic here for fun, as I contemplate the red-hot baseball program.

April 9, 2018

Han Vance on Georgia baseball: the Georgia Bulldogs baseball team fell to a still solid 8-4 in SEC play Saturday with the culmination of a road series in the Music City. Dropping a league series for the first time this season, two games to one on the road to baseball-strong Vandy, should not be seen as cause for immediate alarm. Although, the Dawgs were fairly soundly outplayed after a heroic come from behind Thursday night win.Continue Reading

The UGA baseball team kept their in-state rivals Georgia Tech off the scoreboard in a 4-0 victory and ultimately won this game with their pitching in front of a sellout crowd.
 
 
The Bulldogs got one run in the bottom of the fourth off a Mason Meadows single that just barely missed the glove of Yellow Jackets shortstop Austin Wilhite. Adam Sasser came in to score and that was all the offense the Bulldogs would need to pull off their fourth straight victory over the Yellow Jackets. Continue Reading

I’m excited about being in the SEC; it’s a conference I have yet to coach in, and I’ll be part of a hungry program ready to take that next step.”
 
 
Hughes is a 1990 graduate of Davidson College where he played third base on the baseball team and quarterback for the Wildcats’ football team.
