Georgia clinches series versus #15 Aggies behind two-hit shutout, 3-0


ATHENS, Ga.--- The 24th ranked Georgia Bulldogs (21-6, 7-1) combined on a two-hit shutout of the 15th ranked Texas A&M Aggies 3-0 Saturday night at Foley Field clinching the series on the way to their ninth consecutive win.

Runs were at a premium between Bulldog freshman Emerson Hancock (3-1) and Aggie starter John Doxakis (4-1) who entered play with a 1.59 ERA having allowed just eight earned runs in seven appearances on the mound this season. The Georgia offense found a way to scratch across two runs off the lefty Doxakis in the bottom of the second using three singles. An RBI single by Tucker Bradley scored catcher Mason Meadows and Aaron Schunk followed with a sacrifice fly to right giving the Bulldogs a two run advantage.

Georgia added a solo tally in the fourth inning on Tucker Bradley's second run scoring hit of the game, this time driving in LJ Talley as the Bulldogs saw their lead grow to three.

After cruising along through 3.1 innings without allowing a hit, Georgia starter Emerson Hancock was forced to leave the game with an injury he appeared to suffer throwing a pitch to Aggie designated-hitter Hunter Coleman. Right hander Tony Locey (5-0) entered the game picking up right where Hancock left off allowing just one hit in 3.2 innings of relief.

The Bulldogs turned to sophomore Zac Kristofak who tossed a scoreless eighth inning and Aaron Schunk who closed out the Aggies (20-8, 2-6) with a one-two-three ninth inning to give the Bulldogs their seventh consecutive conference victory and their third shutout in four games.

-Aaron Schunk picked up his third save of the season

-Keegan McGovern, Michael Curry and Tucker Bradley have now all reached base safely in 17 consecutive games.

-The Bulldogs completed three shutouts in four games for the first time since 1980.

-Georgia's 7-1 start in SEC play is their best mark since a 7-2 start in 2002.

Coaches Corner

Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Scott Stricklin

On the bullpen stepping up…

"The bullpen really can't be much better. Kevin Smith last night was outstanding and Tony Locey two Fridays in a row. He did that last Friday to win that game for us against South Carolina. He comes in and you can argue his stuff is just as good as Emerson's. I think he sat down 11 out of 12 and Locey was 94, 95. Our guys really rallied around that. They did it last week and they did it again. Kristofak came in in the 8th and Schunk in the 9th, the bullpen really rallied tonight"

Player's Perspective

Sophomore Aaron Schunk

On getting the chance to close out the series on the mound…

"It feels really good. I was chomping at the bit, I was down in the bullpen not really knowing what to do with myself. I really wanted to get in there and close it down. As soon as I got in there I executed my pitches and did what I needed to do for my team."

UCF beat #4 Florida 1-0. GO KNIGHTS!!!!

Wrong sport.

UCF beat UF 1-0 in softball last night. (which is probably more impressive)

UCF did sweep a pair of midweek games from UF earlier this year but not last night.

That 1-0 game was in softball

Well shit. We still won though! lol

Yeah and beating their softball tem is a helluva lot more impressive for UCF than beating
their baseball team in midweek.

Everybody uses the same throwers in softball midweek as they do on the weekends.

#6 FSU improved their record to 24-7 overall, and 8-5 in the ACC by topping Ga Tech
10-2 tonight in Atlanta. Cole Sands with the win improved to 6-1 on the year

Tech fell to 17-13 and 6-7 in the ACC. The two teams play the second game of the
series tomorrow evening at 6pm.

One other, bad note. FSU's softball team had their 36-game ACC win streak end last night
in the 2nd game of the doubleheader to Pitt 1-0.

It was 0-0 heading for the bottom of the 7th. FSU loaded the bases with nobody
out but could not push across the winning run. Pitt scored a two-out run in the 8th
and weathered another rally in the bottom of the inning.
