Stat Of The Day
Posted by: Dave McMahon in Georgia Bulldogs, Stat Of The Day, tags: Gordon BeckhamThe Georgia Bulldogs are going to Omaha as they destroyed NC State in the deciding game by the score of 17 to 8. The game started off with a bang when the Dawgs scored 9 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning.
Later in the game All-American Gordon Beckham helped continue the onslaught by hitting a home run in the 6th inning and another one in the 7th inning which will most likely be his last two at-bats at Foley Field. The 2 home runs adds to his school single season record 26 this season and it ties him with the school career record of 51.
Here is the career leaderboard for most home runs in a career by a Georgia Bulldog…
Gordon Beckham - 51 (2006-08)
Josh Morris - 51 (2004-06)
Doc Brooks - 45 (1999-01)
Roger Miller - 45 (1986-89)
Jeff Keppinger - 35 (1999-01)
Derek Lilliquist - 35 (1985-87)
