The red hot Georgia Baseball team earned an SEC Tournament berth after beating South Carolina this weekend. This young Dawgs team is peaking at the right time, and could be a tough out in the SEC Tourney this week.

Game 1

Georgia used a quick start to win game 1 6-3. A 4 run second inning lead to this victory.

Wil Crowe pitched well for the Gamecocks but would get the loss. He threw 6.2 innings, gave up 4 runs, and struck out 9. Carlos Cortez had a solid day at the plate going 2-4 with a run scored.

Andrew Gist had a great game for UGA.  He threw 8 innings, giving up only three hits and a run. Cam Sheppard went 3-5 with an RBI.

Game 2

Another solid pitching performance for the Dawgs a 5-4 win.

Adam Hill took the loss for South Carolina. He had a tough outing giving up 3 runs in just 4.1 innings. Carlos Cortez was once again a tough out going 2-3.

Kevin Smith has made his presence felt since being inserted into the starting rotation. He got the win for the Dawgs by throwing 5 innings and giving up only 2 runs.  Keegan McGovern went 1-4 but had 4 huge RBIs.

Game 3

South Carolina dominated UGA 10-0. There’s not too much to talk about in this one but I’ll throw in some stats.

Colie Bowers got the win in relief throwing 2.2 innings of 1 hit baseball. Jonah Bride went 3-5 with 3 runs scored. Tony Locey got the loss for UGA throwing 2.2 innings and giving up 3 runs.
