From the Dugout

The Diamond Dawgs went up to Knoxville for the rainy weekend and swept the Vols, thanks to some outstanding play by Rich Poythress. Counting the loss to Wright State, Poythress batted .615 with 5 HR's and 12 RBI's. He has been named not only SEC POTW, but a Louisville Slugger National POTW, as well. The Dawgs handled Tennessee across the three day stand, 12-6, 11-6, 4-3. Georgia has a home-and-away with Clemson this week before hosting LSU for a weekend series.

BTW, from the Lady Diamond Ddawg dugout: The Softball team has also been kicking a little butt this season. Poythress is not the only spring sporter pulling in honors recently, as Chrisitie Hamilton also earned the SEC POTW. Let's just hope they can hang in with Florida if they cross paths again in the conference tournament.

Spring sports aren't really holding my interest enough, so the posts have been few and far between. As the season wears on, I'll be digging through various pop-culture categories and sharing some views and insights on a hodge-podge of fun facts. Stay tuned.
