SERIES HISTORY

Georgia leads the all-time series over the Tigers 12-9. The Bulldogs won two of three games in 2021, the last meeting between the two programs.

The Tigers took the first game of the series, as Jordan Weber and Emma Nichols combined to allow only one run. However, the Georgia bats exploded for 22 runs over the next two games and despite the Tigers putting up 17 of their own, the Bulldogs took the series.

CHAUTIME

Casidy Chaumont has continued to hit, even after missing six games. The outfielder has five extra base hits over the last four games. She doubled in each game of the Mississippi State series.

Chaumont leads the team in batting average (.413), slugging percentage (.738) and extra base hits (15).

THE BAILEY SHOW

Kendyll Bailey has always been a strong defensive presence for the Tigers in the field, but she has also become one of Mizzou’s most formidable hitters. She is batting .353 on the year with eight home runs and 24 RBI, all career-bests.

Bailey has reached base safely in each of the last 15 games, the longest such streak of her career. She has six multi-RBI games on the year and 11 multi-hit games, tying for second on the team in each category.
