Georgia is the No. 7 seed in the NCAA Baseball Tournament.

The Bulldogs will play Army (31-21), with Georgia Tech (31-23) and UNC-Wilmington (39-19) making up the rest of the field.

First pitch on Friday for Georgia is set for 1 p.m.

If Georgia wins, the Bulldogs will be matched up against the winner of the North Carolina State Regional, which also features South Carolina.

Head coach Wes Johnson said he was not surprised to see his Bulldogs grab the 7th seed.

"We did some good stuff this year in the regular season. We beat a Clemson team here that was really good. You can go back all the way to Northern Kentucky. I kept telling people how good they were and they won their conference tournament. They'll give people some fits," Johnson said. "Georgia Tech, we took two of three from them. You keep going through the league, sweeping Alabama, sweeping Vanderbilt, sweeping South Carolina at South Carolina. All three of those teams are in the tournament."

That wasn't all.

Despite dropping their final three games, Georgia's RPI (No, 6), strength of schedule (No. 9), and Quad 1 record (13-10) favored the Bulldogs receiving a national seed.

"You look at Tennessee and Texas A&M, they were 30-something and three at home, and we're one of those three losses. Those are tough places to play," Johnson said. "You look at our total body of work. I'm not on the committee and I'm not here to say somebody should have got it (the national seed) or should not have got it. But I felt pretty good about our resume."

Georgia is making its 14th trip to the NCAA Regionals and first since 2022. The Bulldogs last advanced to the College World Series in 2008 when Georgia finished as the national runner-up.

As for the field, Johnson said his Bulldogs have their work cut out.

First up - Army (31-21).

"They don't have a ton of velo. Don't get me wrong, they throw the ball hard, just nobody who throws 100 mph, but they can really pitch and mix their pitches well," Johnson said. "They've got a couple of guys in the middle of the order hitting over .300 with 14-15 homers; they've got four of five guys who can steal some bases, so they'll be able to do a lot of things."

The winner of the game in the double-elimination tourney between the Bulldogs and the Black Knights will play the winner of No. 2 seed UNC-Wilmington (39-19) and No. 3 seed Georgia Tech (31-21).

"UNC-Wilmington is extremely offensive, they always have been. They've got two really good starters on the mound and they've got a couple of bullpen pieces," Johnson said. "Obviously, we know Georgia Tech. I thought they got better as the year goes along, ao quite frankly I'll have to go back and watch Georgia Tech like we've never played them."

Georgia is one of a record 11 SEC teams to qualify for this year's tournament.

The Bulldogs are 29-5 at Foley Field this year.

"Our guys love playing in our ballpark, you want to play at home, the comforts of your home, everything of that nature," Johnson said. "Obviously, on the recruiting side being able to see where your program is, is big too.

NOTE: Johnson did not sound very hopeful regarding the status of pitcher Charlie Goldstein.

Goldstein has not pitched in three weeks due to what was described as “tricep cramps.”

“We’ll see. He went to the doctor and everything came back clean, but they do things with him and they put him into a protocol,” Johnson said. “We will just have to see.”

Johnson said Goldstein has yet to do any mound work.”
