"We didn't play great in any phase of the game, but these guys made big pitches with runners on base and some great defensive plays when we needed them," said head coach Russell Triplett. "Zach Hunt and Matthew Lively had two good swings that produced runs. The bunt game and execution helped us extend the lead. We have been struggling to finish games on the road. Our guys stepped up and played their best at the end of both games to win the series."
 
Next, the Bulldogs travel to Athens, Ga., to face Georgia on Tuesday, March 17, with the first pitch scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.
