Georgia Falls on the Road at No. 5 Clemson, 7-1
February 21, 2023 | Softball
CLEMSON, S.C. – The 17th-ranked Georgia softball team dropped a 7-1 decision on the road Tuesday at fifth-ranked Clemson, 7-1.
The Bulldogs are now 7-4 on the season.
Junior Jayda Kearney was responsible for two of Georgia's four hits in the contest. Sydney Kuma and Sydney Chambley each had one hit.
Sophomore Kylie Macy (1-1) suffered the loss in the circle after giving up five first inning runs. Graduate Shelby Walters entered in the first and pitched the remainder of the game, working six innings, allowing one unearned run on five hits, striking out five.
A leadoff McKenzie Clark home run sparked a five-run first inning for the Tigers (11-0) to take an early 5-0 lead on the Bulldogs.
Georgia broke through in the fifth with a run. Three-straight hits loaded the bases with no out. What was originally a 6-4-3 inning-ending double play off the bat of Ellie Armistead was reviewed and overturned, ruling Armistead safe at first and pinch runner Dallis Goodnight able to score and put Georgia on the board, 5-1.
The Tigers added two unearned runs in the sixth inning to widen the lead to 7-1.
The Bulldogs are back at home this weekend hosting the 20th Annual Georgia Classic at Jack Turner Stadium. Georgia will welcome Hofstra, Cal Baptist, and Lipscomb in the nine-game round robin tournament.
