Looking at Georgia baseball’s NCAA Tournament path
The Georgia Bulldogs baseball team put together a solid 35-21 season and are the No. 2 seed of the Chapel Hill Regional. UNC, the No. 10 national seed, hosts the regional.
Georgia baseball coach Scott Stricklin helped the Bulldogs go 15-15 in SEC play. The SEC is one of the toughest conferences in baseball. Georgia enters the NCAA Tournament on a bit of a cold streak. The Diamond Dawgs lost six of 10 games to end the season.
