Georgia regional opener suspended until Saturday morning
The only thing that could stop Georgia baseball on Friday was the rain. The Bulldogs opened the Athens Regional with Long Island at Foley Field.
The Bulldogs rode six home runs to a 15-1 lead into the bottom of the sixth. Then the rain came just after a two-run home run from Rylan Lujo.
The umpires signaled for players to leave the field and eventually placed the game under delay for ‘inclement weather’. The game was frozen with no outs in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Georgia got a gem from starting pitcher Joey Volchko. He pitched six innings of no-hit baseball. Volchko threw 100 pitches and struck out 10 Sharks. Volchko did give up an unearned run. He walked four hitters.
