One Win Down

C'mon Diamond Dawgs, let's get that early season boogie back...

Georgia knocked off conference co-champ Ole Miss last night, 6-3 to advance to the next round in the winner's bracket. The teams were scoreless until the 5th when the Rebs scored on a wild pitch. Down a run in the 6th, Matt Cerione hit a grand slam to give the Dawgs a lead they'd never lose. The Rebs threatened in the 6th, but managed only one run with bases loaded on one out. Two RBI's in the 7th put Georgia up 6-2 and Ole Miss never threatened again, scoring one last run late. The win sets up a Georgia-Arkansas game, as the Hawgs beat Florida last night, 8-5. The winner gets to relax Friday before playing again Saturday morning.

On a related note, 4 Georgia players won All-Sec honors this week. Rich Poythress is the first team 1B, Bryce Massanari was selected for the 2nd team and Colby May made the all-Freshman team. Poythress and pitcher Trever Holder earned spots on the All-Defensive team.
