Previewing the Matchup: Georgia

  • Evansville and Georgia are set to do battle for the seventh time when the two sides meet on February 19 with the Bulldogs owning a 6-1 advantage in the series.
  • The Aces are 35-72 all-time against teams from the SEC and will play four times against the SEC this season with three against Georgia this weekend and a midweek matchup against Kentucky on March 3.
  • The Bulldogs were 14-4 last season and finished the season ranked third in the nation when the season ended abruptly on March 13.
  • Evansville will look to utilize its end-of-season momentum from 2020 to fuel its start to 2021. The Aces closed the 2020 campaign with a 5-4 victory over Indiana in the grand opening of German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium on March 10.
  • Shane Gray looks to continue his form from 2020 into the start of the 2021 campaign. Gray struck-out a team-high 19 batters in 22.2 innings last season.
