Baseball Falls In Game One at Georgia

4/19/2024 | Baseball

ATHENS, Ga. โ€“ Ole Miss Baseball (20-17, 5-11 SEC) dropped the first game of its series against No. 23 Georgia (28-9, 8-8 SEC) Friday night 17-6.
ย 
Ole Miss opened the game with two home runs in the first inning, started by a solo blast over the batter's eye by Andrew Fischer, his 14th of the season. Ethan Lege doubled in the next at bat and then Will Furniss hit a missile to left field to make it 3-0 early.
ย 
Georgia picked up an unearned run in each of the first two innings and cut the Rebel lead to just one after two complete.
ย 
After the Rebels went down in order in the third, Georgia broke things wide open with an eight-run third inning. They hit two home runs, were hit by two pitches, and took advantage of a Rebel error in the outburst. The Bulldogs led 10-3 when all was said and done.
ย 
Ole Miss got three runs back in the top of the fourth inning on an Eli Berch two-RBI double and a Luke Hill RBI-single to make it 10-6.
ย 
Georgia used three hits and a sacrifice bunt to immediately answer back with two more runs of their own and take a six-run lead into the fifth inning.
ย 
The Bulldogs added one more in the sixth before Slate Alford dealt the finishing blow in the eighth with a walk-off grand slam.
ย 
The two teams will play a doubleheader tomorrow starting at 1 p.m. CT to decide the series.
