Nearly 10 years ago I started my college journey in this very building.
The road hasn’t been straight or easy and it’s taken me places 17 year old me couldn’t have imagined through plenty of trial and tribulation.
Wouldn’t change a thing.

Adams vs Riojas it was a well played game at the Disch earlier that Alabama won. While Texas took 2 of 3, the Tide won the Adams start

Georgia lives in the portal for arms and seem to be one of the few teams who actually hit.

Joey Volchko gave a recruiting pitch for Georgia after throwing a complete-game shutout:
"(Wes Johnson and Drew Finley) together is a truly special partnership. I think anybody should come pitch at Georgia, just because the ballpark might deceive you a little bit — it's tough to pitch in sometimes — but to work under Wes Johnson has been the biggest privilege of my playing career so far."

I know I’ve given Adrian Rodriguez a lot of flack for the weird showboat stuff at the plate. And to be clear I stand by it.
But my God what a postseason this kid is having.
⚾️ Hitting .591 since regionals
⚾️ 2 hits in every game in NCAA tournament
⚾️ Base hit in 11 of his last 12 games
