Georgia played the role of the comeback kids in a sweep of the Athens Regional. The Bulldogs trailed both Army and Georgia Tech late in each contest, leaning on one of the best power lineups in the nation to advance.
While Charlie Condon gets his due respect for leading the nation in home runs with the potential of being the top pick in the MLB Draft, last weekend belonged to shortstop Kolby Branch.
Not only did the Baylor transfer hit his fourth grand slam of the year, but Branch single-handedly kept the Bulldogs alive against the Yellow Jackets.

NC State made quick work of the Raleigh Regional, comfortably winning all three games against Bryant, South Carolina and James Madison.
In 27 innings of play, the Wolfpack trailed just a single inning the entire weekend. Starters Sam Highfill, Dom Fritton and Logan Whitaker gave up only two earned runs apiece. At the plate, First baseman Garrett Pennington dominated for multiple extra-base hits.
NC State came in hot down the stretch after sweeping Wake Forest, taking a series against Virginia and splitting with Florida State.
This series will be offensively charged, as both teams bring a staff ERA and xFIP higher than 5.6.
Georgia has been a powerhouse all season with slugging, set up by leadoff man Corey Collins. The Bulldogs average the second-highest offensive output of all Super Regional teams at 9.7 via an average of runs per game and calculated base runs.
Both Leighton Finley and Kolten Smith fetch odds at -300 or better in the opening games against Highfill and Fritton. With odds of 86% to take the head-to-head, Georgia's true odds are much higher than the market at -625.
Pick: Georgia -150 or Better
