What channel is Georgia baseball vs. UNCW on today? NCAA tournament time, TV, streaming

Georgia baseball may have had a tighter game than many expected in its opening outing of the NCAA tournament Athens Regional, but it got what it came for Friday.

With its 8-7 win over No. 4 region seed Army, Georgia moved on in the winners bracket and avoided the difficult road that comes with a first day loss in the double-elimination format. Georgia plays No. 2 UNC Wilmington Saturday night, UNCW routed Georgia Tech 9-0.

“I’ve been on the loss in game one and had to come all the way back,” said Georgia coach Wes Johnson, whose team is the No. 7 national seed. “We didn’t win that regional but got all the way back to the last game. It really, really taxes, people think about your pitching staff, but at the end of the day too you’ve got to score runs. It really, really starts to wear on your position players. …The first one is good. It’s a tough road back out.”

Georgia had the packed Foley Field crowd on its side and will be home throughout the tournament until it reached the College World Series in Omaha if it can keep winning.

“Just to see the turnout there today was really fun,” star Bulldog slugger Charlie Condon said. “I think it shows a lot of promise for the future for the future of this program as well. As far as brining a lot of attention back to baseball. …You can feel that energy behind you knowing that it’s on your side and it’s positive for you.”
