 HOW IT HAPPENED
 - Jack Gorman got PC on the board first in the opening inning with a solo shot to push PC to the early 1-0 lead.
- Georgia answered in a big way in the home half of the first connecting on three solo homers to quickly gain a 3-1 advantage.
- The Bulldogs continued to swing the bat well early on Tuesday with a four-run second highlighted by a pair of solo homers and a two-run double to extend it to a 7-1 lead.
- PC pushed its second solo home run across in the third when Kyle Decker connected on his second homer of the season to make it 7-2 UGA.
- The Bulldogs scratched across a run off of a PC error to increase the lead to 9-2 after three innings.
- Dragoo opened the fourth inning with his second home run of the season to cut the deficit to 9-3. 
- UGA quickly got that run back in the fourth with an RBI double to make it 10-3.
- In the sixth, Dragoo did it again as he led the inning off with his second homer of the game. Presbyterian pushed across two more runs in the inning to make it a 10-6 game. 
- Georgia pushed one more run across in its half of the sixth to lead to Tuesday's final margin of 11-6 Bulldogs. 
  
 NOTABLES
 - Fahr matched his career-high on Tuesday with a team-best four hits to help pace PC. The Blue Hose shortstop also tallied four hits last season against UNC Asheville. He also has added a hit in each of the previous five games to lead PC.
- Dragoo connected on a pair of homes in the defeat marking the second time in as many games a Blue Hose player has connected on multiple long balls in the same game. Dalton Reeves hit two in the Blue Hose 8-6 win over Michigan State on Sunday.
- Decker connected on his second of the year with Gorman hitting his first of the young season for Presbyterian. Both players have reached base safely in all eight games to begin the 2023 season.
- Freshman Jeremiah Hampton made his Blue Hose debut tossing a scoreless inning of relief on Tuesday.
- Tuesday's four-homer outburst marks the first time a PC team has hit four in the same game since May 18, 2019, when the Blue Hose hit four on the road against CSU. The four homers are the most a PC team has hit in a game during the DI era. 
- Logan Ymker made his 2023 debut in relief, tossing a scoreless inning for the Blue Hose. 
  
 UP NEXT
 - PC returns home on Friday to begin a three-game weekend series with Georgia State in Clinton, with first pitch set for 4 p.m. on Friday. Georgia State currently sits with a 5-3 record following a four-game sweep of Brown over the weekend. The Panthers are set to battle Alabama State on Tuesday night before visiting the Blue Hose.
