West Georgia baseball looks to secure its first midweek win of the season as they host Samford University at Cole Field. Following a previous ASUN road series victory, the Wolves (8-20, 5-4 ASUN) aim to overcome the Bulldogs (12-14, 1-2 SoCON), who lead the all-time series 2-0. The matchup features UWG's sophomore righty Wilson Donnelly, with an 11.74 ERA and 0-2 record. The game is set for 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

By the Numbers
  • West Georgia: 8-20 overall, 5-4 in ASUN play.
  • Samford: 12-14 overall, 1-2 in Southern Conference
  • UWG ERA: 8.49; Samford ERA: 6.60.
  • Leading hitters: UWG's Patrick McCullough (.362) and Samford's Jake Souders (.400).
Yes, But

While West Georgia is seeking a midweek win, their recent performance has left them struggling, with significant weaknesses highlighted by their team ERA compared to Samford's. Donnelly's inconsistency on the mound poses a challenge against a potent Bulldogs lineup.

State of Play
  • UWG is coming off its first ASUN road series win.
  • Both teams are expected to use multiple pitchers, reflecting their recent midweek games.
What's Next

If successful against Samford, this could boost West Georgia's morale and potentially turn their season around, impacting their performance moving forward in the ASUN conference.

Bottom Line

West Georgia must leverage home-field advantage and improve pitching performance to clinch a much-needed midweek victory against Samford, which could be pivotal in reviving their season.
