Is the Georgia Bulldogs baseball team getting hot at the right time? After taking out #4 Kentucky last week, Georgia went 3-1 this week. The 3 wins included completing the season sweep over Georgia Tech, 9-8, in SunTrust Park and beating #6 Mississippi State 2 out of 3.

Game 1

This game was ugly as Mississippi State blasted Georgia 9-3. When I saw this score, I was like, “oh no here we go again”.

Konner Pilkington pitched very well as he pitched 8 shutout innings for MSU. Brent Rooker and Elijah MacNamee  both hit bombs in game 1 to lift Mississippi State past Georgia.

Andrew Gist took the loss for the Dawgs as he threw 5.1 innings, gave up 5 runs on 8 hits, and struck out 5. Keegan McGovern went 2-3 at the plate.

Game 2

Georgia would even the series with a 4-1 win as Kevin Smith was dominant on the mound.

Denver McQuary got the loss for Mississippi State on the mound. He threw 4 innings, gave up 3 runs, and walked 5 batters. Ryan Gridley was 1-3 with an RBI.

Kevin Smith was on a roll. He threw 7 shutout innings, giving up only 3 hits, and struck out 6. LJ Talley went 1-2 with 2 walks and a run scored.

Game 3

Georgia also won this one 4-1. It was another big pitching performance from the starter, this time it was Chase Adkins.

Jacob Billingsley got the loss after facing only 4 batters and giving up 2 runs. Hunter Vonsau went 3-4 at the plate for Mississippi State.

Chase Adkins was magnificent on the mound for UGA. He threw 6 shutout innings, gave up 5 hits, and struck out 2. Michael Curry went 1-3 with a 2 run homerun.
