Georgia got the series win in Columbia as its pitchers stepped up, an impressive feat given that it was without staff ace Jonathan Cannon.
Will Crisp pitched four a third of an inning, giving up two runs, before Jaden Woods and Will Pearson set the table for the top of the ninth, where a pair of runs a Cole Tate single and Corey Collins grounder that he beat out to score Ben Anderson put Georgia in front. Jack Gowen put the finishing touches on the win, getting the save. Georgia’s three relievers on Friday combined to give up no runs.
