Scoring four runs in the 4th inning gave Georgia a 6-0 lead and it never looked back finishing the game in the 6th inning with a 2 run walk-off home run by Alysen

Febrey giving Georgia another win by decision.

 

It was an outstanding night for Georgia as it had two shutout wins with one error and gave up only one hit in both games combined.

 

“Just to only give up one hit on the day makes for a really good day,” coach Harris-Champer said.

 

Georgia returns to action on Saturday again in the Georgia Classic facing Charleston at 3:30 p.m. and Gardner-Webb at 6:30 p.m. at Jack Turner Stadium.
