Coming of a disappointing effort on Saturday night where Florida overpowered Georgia with four home runs, the Bulldogs played their most important game of the season on Sunday. A Florida sweep would have severely dented Georgia’s postseason hopes.
UGA recognized that early, scoring three runs off the bat of Garrett Blaylock in the top of the first inning on the way to a 6-1 victory over the ninth-ranked Gators. Blaylock sent a high drive to right center field that just barely cleared the fence, giving Georgia the momentum it needed.
“This was a really good team win for us,” said Georgia head coach Scott Stricklin in a press release.
