Athens, Ga – Georgia got back home and with that came their winning ways. The Bulldogs snapped a three-game skid on Tuesday with a 16-2 win over Presbyterian at Foley Field in seven innings.

Georgia came into the game having dropped the weekend series against Texas in Austin. The Bulldogs combined for eight runs over the weekend.

They did not have a problem scoring on Tuesday. The offense awakened with a few big performances from key starters.

Junior shortstop Kolby Branch hit two home runs, both in the fifth inning, one of which was a grand slam. Branch was 3-for-4 with seven runs batted in. He also scored two runs.

Branch wasn’t the only one to supply the power on Tuesday. Georgia hit five as a team. Ryland Zaborowski hit his 15th home run of the season after a two-week homeless streak.

Ryan Black led off the game for Georgia with a homer. Devin Obee also hit one over the Foley Field fence.

Georgia leaned on its bullpen to cover the seven innings of work on Tuesday. Zach Harris got the start. He allowed Presbyterian’s first run in the top of the first in his lone inning of work.

Over the next six innings, Georgia trotted out Matthew Hoskins, Justin Byrd, JT Quinn, DJ Radtke, Alton Davis, Zach Brown and Collin Caldwell to hold Presbyterian to the two runs on the evening. Georgia allowed seven hits as a pitching staff on Tuesday.

What’s next for Georgia?

The Bulldogs now shift their attention back to SEC play. It will be a big one in Athens over the weekend. The new No. 1 team in the D1 Baseball rankings, Arkansas, will come to Foley for a three-game set starting on Friday.

The first pitch for game one is set for 6 p.m. Game two will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The series wraps at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
