THE STORYLINE: 
· Georgia out-dueled the Kennesaw State Owls on Tuesday evening at Stillwell Stadium, taking a 4-2 final in a non-conference showdown.
· The Bulldogs used three runs over the first two frames and never trailed in the contest to earn the win.
· Kevin Smith (3-0) out-dueled KSU's starter Tony Dibrell (0-1) on the mound to earn his third victory.
· The loss dropped the Owls to 7-9 overall, while the Bulldogs improved to 13-5 on the season.  

HOW IT HAPPENED: 
· UGA strung together three solo home runs over the first two frames to grab a 3-0 lead.
· Tony Dibrell made his third start of the season on the bump, allowing three runs on six hits in 6.0 frames. · That was the only damage off Dibrell as the righty worked four scoreless innings after the Bulldogs put up three runs.
· Georgia countered with Smith, tossing 6.0 inning and allowed a run on four hits.  
· Kennesaw State got on the board in the bottom of the fifth, capitalizing on one of two UGA errors in the ballgame as senior Justin Motley scored on a throwing error from second.
· The Owls clawed within two when Brennan Morgan hit his third home run of the season in the bottom half of the eighth.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS: 
· Kennesaw State broadcasted on ESPN3 for the first time in program history Tuesday evening versus Georgia.  
· Tony Dibrell has struck out at least seven batters in an outing over his last three starts.
· Stillwell Stadium's attendance was announced at 1,207, which was the most since April 3, 2012 vs. Georgia Tech (1,314).
