Georgia baseball: Bulldogs suffer first sweep of 2020 against Georgia Southern
Georgia baseball lost to Georgia Southern Wednesday night. The loss sealed the Bulldogs first sweep of the season. Georgia falls to 14-4 overall.
I hardly know where to start. The Georgia baseball team swept UMass in three games with a thundering run total of 27-2. The Bulldogs swept Georgia Tech in three games earlier, also scoring 27 but giving up a few more to the Yellow Jackets than the two UMass eked out.
Then I predicted Georgia Southern would be tough after game one, confirmed after game two, both losses for Georgia baseball. I made clear no one should place bets based on my predictions, then went and predicted the Dawgs would salvage game three. I was right about not betting, but I was wrong about the salvage.
Georgia Southern swept Georgia in an unusual series that began in Athens, followed by a rainout and makeup game days later in North Augusta and a final game in Statesboro. The run total was a not completely embarrassing, 13-4 in favor of Georgia Southern. But the win-loss ratio is 3-0 Eagles.

I also suggested Georgia baseball should have saved some of those 27 UMass runs in case they needed them against Southern. They needed them.
I could pull a Lewis Grizzard “Frankly I don’t want to talk about it” and left a bunch of blank space, but I’ve already typed way too many words for that. Plus it is Georgia Southern who swept us, and not Georgia Tech. Plus it’s baseball, so even these three losses don’t hurt as bad as a football loss to anyone.
Yet we can not dwell on this, and I am certain our Bulldogs will not dwell. We are heading to The Swamp to play Florida in a three-game series. I know The Swamp is football. But I detest the Gators so badly I will not bother to look up whatever they call their baseball facility. The Cesspool? How about the Septic Tank?
Let’s just hope Georgia baseball doesn’t bog down in quicksand. If we lose even two games to those reptiles I will pull a Lewis Grizzard with a lot of blank space.
Perish the thought, but were the Dawgs to get swept in Gainesville, I might have to go torch an IZOD store. Okay folks, this is satiric snarky column writing here, not a threat of arson. Plus I found out years ago when Florida was winning football games versus Georgia that IZOD stores are made of brick and impossible to light. But I was not writing anything for anyone and nothing burned anyway.
