Bulldogs Stay Perfect with 13-3 Rout of UMass
February 11, 2023 | Softball
ORLANDO, Fla. – The 15th-ranked Georgia softball team strung together 13 unanswered runs to come back from a 3-0 deficit to beat UMass 13-3 in five innings Saturday morning at the UCF Softball Complex.
The Bulldogs improve to 4-0 on the season and have scored 10 or more runs in their last three games.
Juniors Sydney Chambley and Ellie Armistead combined for eight of Georgia's 13 runs, driving in five and three, respectively. Chambley scattered three hits while Armistead and freshman Marisa Miller had two hits each in the contest.
As a team, Georgia scattered 14 hits including four extra-base hits. In total, 10 hitters in Georgia's lineup had a hit while six picked up at least one RBI.
Freshman Destin Howard worked two-thirds of an inning in her first career start in the circle, allowing three runs on one hit. Sophomore Kylie Macy (1-0) earned the victory out of the pen, pitching the final four and a third scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out eight Minutewomen.
The Minutewomen (0-2) capitalized on a pair of two-out walks and a defensive miscue by the Dogs to score three first inning runs and take a 3-0 lead early.
Armistead sent the first pitch of the third inning over the wall in right center for her second home run of the weekend, putting Georgia on the board, 3-1.
The Bulldogs changed the momentum with a five-run fourth inning. Georgia loaded the bases with one out. Armistead drew a walk to drive in the first run. Chambley plugged the right-center gap with a bases-clearing triple to give Georgia a 5-3 lead. Chambley immediately scored on a groundout to first off the bat of Dallis Goodnight to cap the five-run inning, 6-3.
A seven spot in the fifth widened the Bulldogs' lead to 10 on the Minutewomen. Sydney Kuma came up with bases loaded and no out and drove a single through the left side. Lyndi Rae Davis singled up the middle to plate another Georgia run then a wild pitch scored another, 9-3. Armistead drove in her third run of the day to tip the 10-run mark. A double to left off the bat of Chambley pushed in two more for the Dogs then she scored on a fielder's choice to bring the tally to 13-3.
A pair of Georgia errors allowed two UMass hitters to reach in the fifth, but Macy wiggled out of the jam, fanning the final out with her eighth strikeout.
Georgia will play its final game of the Black & Gold Classic Sunday morning in a rematch against Boise State. First pitch against the Broncos is set for 9 a.m. in Orlando.
