Gamecocks down 4-3 in T9. Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Michael Braswell pinch hitting. Come on kid!

2 questionable strike calls. 2nd one definitely off the plate. 1-2 count and Braswell delivers!!! 2 run double! 5-4 Cocks!!!

Man…would’ve added some insurance but 1st baseman makes a diving catch on a line drive and doubles up Braswell at 2nd. Nothing you can do there. Great play.

Let’s finish this thing!

Crap, leadoff double for Georgia in the B9

They are going to try to move him to 3rd. Need to play solid D and get a strikeout.

2 down and runner on 3rd. Another great play by our D…Wimmer this time chasing down a ball over 2nd base and throwing out the runner.

Pitching change coming up.

Braswell made the game winning plays on offense and defense. Nice job by a late pinch hitter and sub at 3rd base.
Yes he did. That ball hit to him is probably a 50/50 ball. And then to turn, check the runner, and make an accurate throw…huge play.

This team plays with confidence. Our teams in the past few seasons seemed like they didn’t know how to win.

Today was a prime example of the need for a robotic strike zone. The batters, pitchers, and especially the clueless HP umpire had NO idea what the strike zone was.

1st and 2nd with no outs to start the 2nd. UGA booted a hard hit ball that could’ve been a double play. We’ll take it. Make them pay!

We bunt and lead runner thrown out at 3rd. Stupid.

Edit: Play being reviewed & should stand

Don’t like that strategy at all. Chance for a big inning and you’re giving them an out? And then get the lead runner thrown out on top of that? Nope, don’t like it at all.

UGA pitchers just lobbed the ball over the shortstops head on an “attempted” pickoff play. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs.

I can’t say enough how much I hate that sac bunt with runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

strikeout and we get nothing. Big missed opportunity there.

Kingston is famous for thinking we can play smallball on rare occasions even though we hardly ever use it... like it's just gonna be there. Problem is we dont knock the rust off when we could.

After 2, Georgia leads 1-0 on a solo HR. Hope we don’t look back on this 2nd inning with regret. But man, we really missed an opportunity there.

Wimmer with a 1-out RBI double to tie it at 1.. Nice!

Casas strikes out looking. Don’t think he liked the call. 2 down with Messina up. Wimmer takes 3rd base.

Messina swinging at everything in this AB. I can’t see him going down looking. 🤣 Battles back from 0-2 to a full count. Ball in the dirt and Wimmer Scores! 2-1 Gamecocks! Messina on 1st.

Petry with a 2-run bomb! Left fielder will need a rocket up his a$$ to catch that one. 4-1 Gamecocks!

Pretty sure the 10 run rule applies this year to all conference games. Would love to get one on uga. Might even be a first under the new rule.
