One More Win
Posted by: Dave McMahon in Georgia Bulldogs, tags: Gordon Beckham, Joey Lewis, Joshua Fields, Matt Cerione, Nick Montgomery, Trevor Holder, Will HarvillGeorgia came back down 3 in the 8th inning to pull ahead of Fresno State to win game one last night by the score of 7 to 6 and they can win it all with a win tonight.
Joey Lewis came through again in Omaha by getting a rbi single to score Matt Cerione with the go-ahead run. Cerione who went 0-for-5 with 5 strikeouts in his last game, shook it off by twice getting game-tying hits.
Gordon Beckham was the other big offensive star by clubbing his 27th home run of the season which was also his 52nd of his career (a new Georgia record).
Trevor Holder for the most part pitched well (except for a few long balls). Alex McRee struggled for the first time in a long time and Justin Earls allowed a hit to the only batter he faced. Will Harvill did the job and closed the 8th and then Joshua Fields came through and retired the side in the 9th to save his 18th game of the season.
The Fresno State Bulldogs threw 5 pithers last night. Justin Miller who I thought was going to pitch yesterday did not and will most likely pitch tonight (but then again I could be wrong).
Nick Montgomery will take the mound for Georgia and this would be a nice way for him to end his career with the Bulldogs.

The Dawg hitters seemed to be frustrated by Fresno State constantly changing pitchers last night. Our hitters had to face a new pitcher just about each at bat which didn’t give us the luxury of being able to adjust to a single pitcher. Plus we hit a lot of line drives right at people. I predict a high scoring Georgia win in game 2.
