Phoenix Beats Georgia, 4-3
Fans saw a dandy of a game between the Phoenix Firebirds and Georgia Bulldogs.

Phoenix pitcher Ranger Suarez did his part in helping his team beat the Georgia Bulldogs, 4-3. The left-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Suarez yielded 3 runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 3 hits, walked 0, and struck out 3. His record improves to 6-0.

Had Joc Pederson not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Pederson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Firebirds.

"We did a lot of things right," said Pederson.

The Bulldogs fall to 13-17 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2026 season.
