There’s no way to sugarcoat it.
This weekend was a bad one for the Diamond Dawgs.
The final record will show that Georgia’s 46 wins was one of the best marks in school history. The 21-9 SEC record? The best in school history.
The other side of the season is this. For all the momentum and excitement built up, feeding off steam of motivation of last year’s disappointment in the regional round, this year brought an even more disappointing result as Florida State eliminated Georgia 10-1, one night after a 13-3 win.
A team that defined itself with strong pitching and even better defense to go with enough timely hitting to win baseball games suddenly could not none of those this weekend against a Florida State team, obviously playing with an emotional charge in Mike Martin’s final season.
