Georgia (8-12, 0-3 SEC) looks to halt a four-game slide when it begins a four-game home stand on Tuesday by playing host to Furman (14-6) at 5 p.m. The Paladins dropped a Southern Conference series to Davidson this past weekend in Greenville.

Up next in the SEC, Georgia welcomes Alabama (11-9, 2-1 SEC) starting Friday at 7 p.m. Saturday's Bulldog-Bama tilt will be televised by CSS at 4:05 p.m. The Crimson Tide scored 33 runs in claiming a home series from Tennessee in their first SEC action.
