Dawgs Deliver 9th Inning Thriller


This season continues to be produced and directed by Jerry Bruckheimer. You want action? You want cliff hangers? You want an asteroid hurling towards the earth with only seconds separating the planet the team from total annihilation elimination? Then Coach Dave "Bruckheimer" Perno is the guy for you.

Facing a legitimate #1 team in the nation, the Bulldogs more than held their own. Georgia hung a loss on beat an undefeated starting pitcher, and they ended a 45-0 streak of Miami winning when holding the lead at the end of the 8th.

It's almost impossible to come from the loser's bracket after Game 1 to win the College World Series. Rather than fight that uphill battle, the Diamond Dawgs pinned their ears back, made timely hits, caught a few lucky breaks and delivered exceptional relief pitching.

The 9th inning four run comeback was the stuff of legend. With Josh Field's last pitch falling safely into our center fielder's glove, the Dawgs walked away winners 7-4 tonight. They will face Stanford on Monday night.

The Bulldogs are now as little as two games away from playing the "Bracket 2" winner for the national title. Video Highlights from ESPN.
