Nice bounce back win (6-3) by the Dawgs today after a rough few days against Auburn. Madison really seemed to lock in today, and finishing the seventh by striking out the side (well, after giving up the solo shot) was nice! The more experience she gets, the more fun she is to watch lead the Dawgs.
Hoping we can get a sweep against Ole Miss next weekend, but it’s going to be tough.

I have liked the way Georgia has played all year. They just need another good arm behind Kerpics (or in front of her) next year and they will be very tough.

There’s been rumors since before season of someone being on the way, a silent grad xsfer commit, and if that’s true then Georgia has their help on the way.
But, she’s been committed a long time, and softball is so unpredictable that things may change between now and time to get her on campus.
Thinking worst case scenarios (like say the transfer doesn’t come in):
if Tony and Chelsea can develop Kylie Macy and Sydney Osada (a lefty), along with the incoming freshman Destin Howard, they’d be a lot tougher to beat. Kylie has legit Wilkinson-esque spin, she just needs a little work. Osada hasn’t seen many innings so I believe they MAY be redshirting her, but if they can get some work in with her for next year and get her some consistency/innings… She’ll be tough. Georgia hasn’t had a lefty since Kylie Bass and this one throws a lot faster.
Howard is rough around the edges but has several different tools to be successful. The one that will excite a lot of Georgia fans is that she legitimately hits 70 mph on some of her pitches and is a born competitor. Overall I’m extremely hopeful with the pieces we have in place and the path to which we’re taking to get them better.
But if we do get that transfer? We miiight just stay in the Top 10 all year next year. Top 15 might be more reasonable but I like having lofty goals and expectations. 😂

I've been having a feeling that Georgia has been looking for a transfer in the circle. Shelby Walters would be a pretty good pickup, she's been out this season with an injury for Duke I believe but I know she's already announced she's transferring after this season.
