Georgia baseball’s junior slugger Tre Phelps didn’t just keep his streak alive on Sunday afternoo, he helped the Dawgs' series finale vs. the Samford Bulldogs turn into a seven-inning onslaught. The red-hot third baseman extended his hitting streak to 21 games as he headlined a 22–0 run-rule demolition of Samford on Sunday.

From the first pitch, the former All-SEC Freshman set the tone the way he has all season—locked in, patient, and ready to punish anything left over the plate. His latest hit pushed his streak into rare territory and served as the exclamation point on a weekend that underscored just how dangerous this Dawgs lineup can be when it finds its rhythm.

Tre Phelps will carry Georgia baseball

The offense erupted in waves. Georgia scored in nearly every inning, stringing together disciplined at-bats, working deep counts, and refusing to let Samford settle in. Extra-base hits, constant traffic on the bases, and timely swings turned the middle innings into a relentless onslaught. By the seventh, the scoreboard resembled a football score more than a Sunday baseball finale.

Sharp, calm execution matched the Dawgs' offensive explosion on the mound and in the field. Samford never gained traction, the defense held firm despite the wide margin, and pitchers attacked the zone.

But the story of the day still revolved around the versatile third baseman. A 21-game hitting streak demands elite consistency, resilience, and the ability to adjust as opponents begin game-planning around you. Every plate appearance now draws heightened attention, yet Phelps continues to respond with the same calm, disciplined approach—see it, square it up, and drive it.

If Sunday’s 22–0 statement win is any indication, the Dawgs are finding their stride at the same time their most reliable bat is chasing history. Phelps has extended his streak to 21 games, putting him near some of the program's greatest runs, such as Josh Hudson's school-record 28-game streak from 1999, Mark Thornhill's 26-game streak in 2001, and Charlie Condon's consecutive 24-game streaks in 2023 and 2024.

With SEC play approaching sooner rather than later and every at-bat preparing them for the grind ahead, the Bulldogs lineup is rapidly becoming the one that no one wants to see on the schedule as his hit streak continues to climb and the offense continues to burn scoreboards.
