Game 25 - Appalachian State at Georgia

March 10 at Foley Field in Athens, GA
SEC Network

Couple things from this afternoon affair, won by Georgia 6-3.

* Georgia hit 13 home runs in 56 games last season. So far in 2015, the Bulldogs have hit 15 in 16 games, including Keegan McGovern's tying, solo shot in the fifth and another solo home run by Zach Bowers, his sixth of the year, an inning later.

* This was game 15 of a 16-game road swing to start the season for Appalachian State, which wraps up the month-long odyssey with another game in Athens on Wednesday. The Mountaineers (5-10) will finally play their home opener March 13 against Sun Belt Conference rival Texas State.

* That was probably the first time I've ever used the word odyssey, and it showed because it took me four misspellings to get it right. (The others: oddysey, odysee, odisey, odysey).

Coming up with the correct spelling of the word odyssey has been a real odyssey.

* Color commentator Jason Jacobs on the Appalachian State offense:

"They're a good hitting ball club, just not when they strike out."
