Gamecocks’ strong pitching collapses late, bats silent as Georgia finishes sweep

On a beautiful Saint Patrick’s Day at Founders Park, everything was clicking for South Carolina baseball — until it all fell apart in the ninth inning, sending the Gamecocks to a 4-2 loss to Georgia and completing the Bulldogs’ sweep.

Georgia first tied the game in the ninth off freshman reliever Brett Kerry, getting a leadoff double and then an RBI single to right field. Another single put runners on the corners before Kerry was pulled for junior closer Sawyer Bridges.

At one point, Bulldog junior center fielder Tucker Maxwell appeared to lay down a soft bunt that would have likely been the second out of the inning.
