For the first time perhaps since David Perno roamed the dugout at the head coach of the Georgia baseball program, the Diamond Dawgs are in the rarified air of seeking to meet high expectations.
Seasons like last year, in which Georgia won 39 games and earned a national seed will do that. Now, the bigger challenge arrives. It was one thing for Scott Stricklin’s club to emerge to be one of the SEC’s upper echelon teams last year. Now, the task is to make a year ago the expectation, if not a building block to trips to Omaha being the norm.
