On Tuesday's game…
"We hit a lot of balls hard, some went out, some got to the warning track and got caught, and they hit a lot of seeing-eye ground balls that got through, and it was just one of those nights. We need to execute a little better with two strikes. We have to get better. We got a big, tough weekend coming up against a really good Ole Miss team. They can really pitch. We're going to get back to Athens and practice tomorrow before heading back out on the road."
Up Next
Georgia (32-10, 13-5 SEC) returns to SEC action on Friday at No. 22 Ole Miss with first pitch set for 7:30 pm ET. The game will be available to stream on SEC Network+ and the Georgia Bulldogs Sports Network.
Fast Facts
- Georgia took a 2-0 lead in the first on a two-run blast by Michael O'Shaughnessy. It was his 13th home run of the year. He has hit home run in his last three at bats after hitting a grand slam and a solo shot in the 9th inning of last Saturday's road win over No. 14 Arkansas.
- O'Shaughnessy smashed his 14th home run with one out in the fifth to give him four home runs in his last five at bats. Sophomore Henry Allen followed with his 13th to close the deficit to 9-4 as the Bulldogs have now hit back-to-back home runs 10 times this year.
- Tech built a 7-2 advantage through three frames and then used a five-run fifth to extend its lead to 12-4 and eventually finished with 14 hits on the night while the Bulldogs finished with 10.
- Bulldog redshirt sophomore Paul Farley (4-1) started and went two innings and surrendered four runs on six hits as the Bulldog employed six pitchers on a staff night. Graduate Grant Edwards provided a scoreless inning.
- With three more home runs Tuesday, Georgia now has an NCAA-leading 116 home runs on the year.
- Tonight marked the first matchup of top five teams in the series history. Despite the loss, Georgia leads the all-time series in the Spring Classic 15-8.
