With Kentucky leading 4-2  in the bottom of the third, Georgia’s bats came alive scoring seven runs.

Phelps hit an RBI single to right to give Georgia the lead. An RBI single from Devin Obee, an RBI groundout from Kolby Branch, and two RBI walks extended Georgia's lead to 5 at the end of the inning.

UGA catcher Henry Hunter crushed his second home run of the game into the trees in the bottom of the seventh Inning. Hunter homered four times in the series.

Georgia pitching allowed 26 runs in the series. While the Bulldogs picked up a huge series win this weekend, there are plenty of things to work on going forward. The talent is there, however, too many walks and hit by pitches are being issued.

The Bulldogs head to Gainesville next weekend for a series against the Florida Gators.
