Key Quote:
Georgia Head Coach Tony Baldwin
On today's games…
"It's two good wins, and I thought we pitched well in the circle. Randi [Roelling] was really sharp all day. I thought defensively we did what we needed to, and we did enough. That was the bottom line. I thought in the first game we had timely bunched at-bats to put together some big innings. Then that one [Utah State game], I'll put hats off more to their pitcher and their ability to keep us off balance. Proud of the way that we competed. We did enough to get out on top, and we'll get recovered and go back at them tomorrow."
