The article did not list the other four teams, but I think they are Texas (2004, 2005), Oregon State (2005, 2006), Miami FL (2004, 2006), and Cal St. Fullerton (2004, 2006).  College baseball fans can correct me if I am wrong.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like Georgia coach David Perno has started the foundations of a real winner.  I am not sure how well the Dawgs will do this year, but if they can take a lead into the final innings, they will be in good shape behind all-American closer Joshua Fields (3-2, 15 saves, 1.80 ERA).<\/p>\n<p>Georgia opens this afternoon by hosting last year\u2019s CWS Champions (Oregon State) for a three game series.<\/p>\n<p>Go Dawgs!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia is not what you would consider a traditional college baseball powerhouse.
