The Diamond Dawgs (31-8) did a great job this weekend, taking 2 of 3 from the visiting Arkansas Razorbacks. Georgia won Friday and Saturday in two 4-3 games decided by Matt Cerione hits in the bottom of the ninth. The Hawgs won a pitchers duel yesterday 2-0 to avoid the sweep and return home on high note. Taking two from a top-5 team is always impressive, and this is no exception. Coming into the weekend, Arkansas was a mere half game back in the overall SEC standings (13-5 conf. record). By winning, we secured our spot at the top and pushed the Hawgs to third, behind LSU. Georgia retained the top spot in the ESPN rankings, but comes in no. 8 in the CBN poll. In reality, these ranking don't mean anything, as your level of play through the conference tournaments and regionals decides your destiny, not some poll-based, computer-crunched, complex formula like the BCS in football. But, it's still nice to see us thought so highly of and the SEC-heavy top-25 (6 teams!). The Dawgs host Kennesaw State tomorrow night, before hitting the road to Jax State Wednesday and playing a series in Oxford this weekend. The Rebels (28-11) are ranked no. 13 and coming off a 2-1 series with #20 Florida. It should be a tough stretch, and things won't get any easier with Florida looming the next weekend.
The #6 Lady Diamond Dawgs pulled out a 3-game sweep of Auburn this weekend. That bumps their record to 33-8 overall and 14-6 in the SEC. As impressive as that is, they're still third in the standings behind #1 Florida and #4 Bama. Hey, look at that: another SEC heavy top-5!
