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.

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
