Live Updates: A dog fight in store for Georgia with a trip Omaha on the line

Jeremy Johnsonby: Jeremy Johnson10 hours agoJeremyO_Johnson

Georgia is two wins from the College World Series. It would be the first time the Diamond Dawgs have made the trip to Omaha since 2008.

Mississippi State stands in the way. Georgia has beaten the Mississippi State Bulldogs four times this season. The first three wins came in Starkville.

The fourth came in Hoover during the SEC Tournament on the way to Georgia’s tournament championship win.

In other words, Georgia will have to beat Mississippi six times to advance to the College World Series. Georgia head coach Wes Johnson acknowledged the challenges that come with that proposition.

“This is a really good ball club,” Johnson told reporters on Friday. “It’s kind of crazy that we’re matched up in a Super Regional. I feel like they should be somewhere else, but that’s not for me to determine. They’re a quality ball club; they’ve been all really close games. We’ve come out and just grinded out all of those games on the road. You look, most of them we were behind early, and then came back to win those games. So we just gotta stay the course and play our brand of baseball.”

The Bulldogs will be without All-SEC third baseman Tre Phelps on Saturday after he was ejected during the Bulldogs’ win over Liberty on Sunday night for taunting.

Phelps has to sit out one game. Game one gets going at 11 a.m. DawgsHQ will be on site with the coverage.
