Georgia played its first true “must-win” game on Saturday against Ole Miss, which was the final contest of a three-game series. The Bulldogs lost “as tough of a game” as Scott Stricklin had been a part of on Friday night, losing 8-5 to the Rebels in 11 innings. Georgia’s head coach said he only slept about two hours, following the “haunting” game.
The Bulldogs staved off a sweep though on Saturday with a 13-2 decisive victory over Ole Miss on senior day at Foley Field. Although Georgia had already lost the series, which was the fourth series loss in a row, the Bulldogs avoided being swept at any point this season.
