Charlie Condon homers again as Georgia run rules Vanderbilt
Charlie Condon already has Georgia’s single-season and career home run records, but the star of the Bulldogs is still mashing!
In his first at-bat of the weekend series against Vanderbilt, Condon went yard once again, drilling his 31st home run of the season to kickstart the action. Condon leads all of DI baseball in HRs this season.

Fortunately, Condon was not alone in his display of power Friday night. Paul Toetz delivered a 3-run opposite-field blast in the 5th inning when the Bulldogs were already leading.
Toetz’s blast made it 8-0 in favor of Georgia, and Slate Alford would add on in the bottom of the 6th. Alford’s HR was of the 2-run variety to make it a clean 10-0 score for the Bulldogs.

Those 3 HRs would deliver all the firepower Georgia’s offense needed, but the Bulldogs also received RBIs from Fernando Gonzalez (2) and Tre Phelps. Georgia finished the game with 9 hits and 8 walks.
On the mound, Leighton Finley was lights out for the Bulldogs while limiting the Commodores to 3 hits and 3 walks across 6 shutout innings. His 11 strikeouts tied the season high for a Georgia pitcher with Brian Zeldin pitching a flawless 7th inning to cap the run-rule victory.
The two sides will be back in action Saturday afternoon at 2 pm for Game 2 of the weekend series.
Meanwhile in other SDS non news Arkansas beats Kentucky in game one of their weekend series.
Congrats to Arkansas.
I sure hope Condon doesn’t beat out Cags for number 1 pick in the draft. UF fans need a win…I’m pulling for them.
Hump,
Appreciate you pulling for uf but it won’t matter if condon goes before cags or any other player. Comming off that national runner up season we just have not had the pitching to have an elite run this year. Still some time to go but to make a regional will be an accomplishment this year .
Of course it matters…coaches and staff members use fodder like that to impress potential recruits. If I were a recruiter for UGa and you were a recruiter for UF and we were going after the same 5* kid, I’d certainly mention to him that UF has NEVER had a number 1 pick in any of the 3 major sports…
Sorry man I don’t agree with that one .. i see what you are saying but if that the case why is uga been so horrible at basketball and baseball ( minus this year for baseball) and Florida has had sustained success in both those sports ?
“sustained success”? Hardly. UF just fired a coach for being “mediocre” and hired one that is less than .500 in the conference. Mid would be a generous description.
I’m just really glad that Finley didn’t get caught using Chri$tian Mracna’s glove, he pitched lights out last night…
