Georgia will play for a National Championship in one of the "Big 3" sports beginning on Monday night........A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Most Georgia fans, if honest, would say Fresno is probably the team they wanted to play rather than North Carolina. North Carolina undoubtedly had a better year and a deeper level of talent. However, no one is playing better than Fresno who beat #3 Arizona St. twice and #2 UNC twice. They wouldn't be at this point if they weren't really good.
Georgia's advantages:
Pitching staff is deeper and 1 game more rested than Fresno's. Georgia's rotation sets up perfect with Holder ready for game 1 and Montgomery for Game 2. I'd say game 3 would be a question. Beckham has yet to explode and you would like to think he will before he leaves Omaha.
Fresno advantages:
They are playing with more confidence than they have played with all year. Mendonca the 3B has probably been the best player at the CWS behind Akley from UNC. They will have a majority of the crowd support from the neutral fans who like the cinderella.
Questions:
Can Fresno's pitching staff hold up for at least 4 games in a row and pitch at the level they have been at for the past 3 weeks?
Can Georgia keep getting production from the 2B position which has been key in all 3 of the CWS wins?
Can Fields come through when put in a tight game or do you go/stay with McCree?
