It was a quieter afternoon in Foley Field on Sunday. After the previous three games saw Georgia<\/a> explode for 44 runs scored, the Bulldogs pulled off a narrow 4-3 win to secure the series sweep of Oakland.<\/p>\n

The Georgia offense had run-ruled the Grizzlies in each of the first three games. Today, Oakland got out to an early lead with a run scored in the first and second innings, as the Bulldogs managed just a lone single from their first five batters.<\/p>\n

Yet, Georgia took a lead in the third inning as the bats found momentum with a Cole Johnson single before a pair of two-out home runs from Tre Phelps and Daniel Jackson.<\/p>\n

Phelps, the junior third baseman, not only made it two games in a row with a home run, but also extended his basehit streak to 26 games. Meanwhile, Daniel Jackson is up to a team-best 12 home runs on the year, four of which came in the Oakland series.<\/p>\n

Phelps and Jackson aren\u2019t the only ones enjoying a streak, though. Henry Allen is up to 10 straight games with a hit, as his basehit in the seventh inning scored Jackson from second base.<\/p>\n

Pitcher Dylan Vigue went 4.1 innings, throwing 60 pitches, allowing two runs on six hits. The junior right-hander struck out just two batters in his outing while giving up one walk before being relieved by Grant Edwards, Teddy Brennan, Thomas Ellisen, and Justin Byrd.<\/p>\n

Byrd made it through his first four batters without trouble after entering the game ahead of the final out in the seventh inning, before surrendering a run in the ninth. With runners on second and third, Byrd managed a groundout and flyout to close the door on an Oakland comeback.<\/p>\n

Up next, the Bulldogs will travel for a midweek matchup versus Kennesaw State on Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. EST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a quieter afternoon in Foley Field on Sunday.
