Georgia Falls in Series Opener to MSU, 4-2

May 07, 2021 | Softball

Box Score
STARKVILLE, Miss. – The 22nd-ranked Georgia softball team dropped a 4-2 decision Friday evening to Mississippi State at Nusz Park. 
 
Freshman Britton Rogers (1-4) pitched three and a third innings in her start in the circle, allowing four runs on three hits. Graduate Alley Cutting pitched two and two-third innings in relief of scoreless softball for Georgia. 
 
Offensively, the Bulldogs scattered five hits to Mississippi State's six. Five different UGA Bulldogs contributed a hit each. 
 
Mississippi State (30-22, 6-15) broke though in the bottom of the third, plating two runs on a pair of sacrifice flies, 2-0 MSU. 
 
Junior Lacey Fincher led off the top of the fourth with a double to center. She took third on a groundout and came in to score on a two-out single through the right side off the bat of freshman Sydney Chambley to put the Bulldogs on the board, 2-1. 
 
A two-run single off the bat of pinch hitter Jackie McKenna widened MSU's lead to 4-1 in the home half of the fourth. 
 
With runners on the corners and two out, senior pinch hitter Mackenzie Puckett singled to center to drive in junior Savana Sikes and cut the Mississippi State lead to 4-2 in the top of the fifth. 
 
That would be the closest Georgia (29-18, 7-15) would get to Mississippi State, falling 4-2 in the opener. 
 
The battle of the Bulldogs continues Saturday afternoon from Starkville. First pitch is set for 2 p.m., ET, on SEC Network.
