Georgia will open the season Feb. 19, in Waco, Texas where it will play host Baylor twice and Duke twice. Junior RHP Justin Grimm will start the season opener against Baylor while senior RHP Jeff Walters will get the nod in game two against Duke. On Sunday, Georgia will play a doubleheader and the starting pitchers will be sophomore RHP Michael Palazzone and sophomore LHP Chase Hawkins. The exact order for Sunday’s rotation will not be announced until after Saturday’s game. Georgia has never faced Baylor and owns a 6-2 all-time mark against Duke. They have not faced the Blue Devils since 1971. 2009 SEASON OPENING SERIES AT BAYLOR http://www.baylorbears.com/sports/m-basebl/10-openingweekend.html Friday: Georgia vs. Baylor, 6 p.m. ET (WRFC 960 AM; georgiadogs.com) Saturday: Georgia vs. Duke, 6 p.m. ET (WRFC 960 AM; georgiadogs.com) Sunday: Georgia vs. Duke, 11 a.m. ET (WRFC 960 AM; georgiadogs.com); Georgia vs. Baylor, 3 p.m. ET (WGAU 1340 AM, georgiadogs.com) For the most part, Georgia’s starting lineup in 2010 will feature five sophomores and four freshmen. The top returning hitter for the Bulldogs is sophomore third baseman Colby May. He earned freshman All-America honors in 2009 after batting .339-11-42. In 2010, the Bulldogs are playing their 123rd season of baseball. It is the oldest sport on campus. Georgia’s all-time record is 2,016-1,492-23. Head coach David Perno begins his ninth season at the helm. He has a career record of 289-208-1 and has led the Bulldogs to the College World Series three times including the CWS finals in 2008. Perno’s Bulldogs are 6-2 in season openers. Georgia will play 10 of its first 18 games on the road before opening the SEC season at home against Auburn. The Bulldogs home opener will be Feb. 24 versus Persbyterian at 5 p.m. The last time Georgia opened a season on the road was 2002, Coach Perno’s first season. Georgia played in the Diamond Classic in Savannah, Ga., and the field included North Carolina, Connecticut and Armstrong State. Georgia went 2-1 in that event. The last time Georgia began a season at an opponent’s home field was 1996, going 1-2 at Jacksonville. Georgia will wear a special “CV” patch on its jerseys this season in honor of freshman infielder Chance Veazey who is now paralyzed following a scooter accident in late October. Veazey was projected to start at second base. Veazey is back home in Tifton, Ga., and completing fall semester classes online. He plans to return to UGA full-time next year and work with the baseball program.

LSU was favorite in the Western Division with a total of 63 points. Arkansas was second with 59, while Ole Miss, who shared the overall title last season with LSU, finished third with 39. # #
