Quick Baseball Notes


Edited: Brooks (above) pitched well. Rip had a rough day.

The long and short of it so far in the College World Series is that UGA started off with a loss to Rice, and Tech is now eliminated.

Most of the articles really focused on what a bad 8th inning that Rip Warren had for UGA in relief. That's really not totally fair. We had bases loaded in the 2nd, the pitcher for Rice was wild as hell and we swung anyway. As Joey Side said in the DawgPost article, "We should've spit on [the curve balls] and then taken the walks."

Rice's pitcher had a no hitter through 7 1/3 until the Dawgs took the lead by scoring 4 runs. Sure, the relief pitching didn't hold up for us, but we got out played by a very good team. Their catcher gunned us down stealing twice, and their relief pitching was borderline unhittable in the 8th and 9th.

I think we'll win a game or two in the CWS, but getting past Rice would likely require beating them two more times. Yikes.

Mayor Kyle at DawgSports.com has all the details on the game. We play again on Monday at 2:00 EST.
