Facing a legitimate #1 team in the nation, the Bulldogs more than held their own. Georgia
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.

GO DAWGS! Bring on the Cardinal!
Great Game! We caught some breaks in the 9th, but holding them to 4 runs was tremendous.
Was their reliever unbeaten all season? NICE!
Just to pick a nit - the starter was undefeated and still is - he left with the lead. The closer who lost the game had lost 3 during the season. But that was an awesome game. GOOOOOOOOOOO DAWGS.
that check swing with runners on second and third was BS though.
it was a little lucky that the canes lost their equilibrium in the 9th, but to hold them to 4 runs is in itself pretty impressive...we had a pack of dawgs watchin the game at a bar in the upper west side of nyc and it was a blast NYC DAWGS REPRESENT!!!1!!!1!!!
I watched the last 3rd of the game and the Canes totally imploded in the 9th- poor fielding, bad throws, walks, etc.
However, it was like you said, if the Dogs hadn't fought hard earlier in the game to tie it up at 3-3, it could have been very different. It was a huge win and the Dogs played great and took advantage at the right times.
And like smitty said, the check swing on Thomas was complete poop.
Great Game for the diamond DAWGS. They played solid baseball and Fields looked like a MLB closer. Hershier was giving him some huge praise last night on espn.
It was cool to see I think his name is Bulldog Mike in the stands. Does anyone know his relationship with the school?
His name might not be bulldog Mike,
but he is the gentleman who pants the bulldog on his head.
Big Mike paints his head and goes to the games. That's the extent of his official relationship with Georgia.
Pretty crafty in that I noticed that he recently started taking advertising on his overalls. He's on TV so much, WHY NOT become a billboard. Pretty slick.
To the person who said he should've gone to more regular season games. You need to get over yourself. I went to 3 regular season games, 3 regional games and 2 super regional games. He was at every game I saw.
There aren't but 2,000-3,500 folks at most UGA baseball games. If you're coming to a half dozen of them, you're doing pretty darn good.
I don't know Big Mike, but I know that I've run into him all over the SEC and I've seen that big joker crying his eyes out after wins. No doubt he loves UGA.
Whether or not he's a whack job is another thing. And to that I say .... WHO CARES.
PWD- Thinks for that insight...on Big Mike. Like you said that joker seems to be everywhere. I happened to be up in the Athens area when the great Bubba Sparx was filming his UGLY video over in the old Wal-Mart parking lot and Big Mike was there. He had five or six english bulldogs with him. Dude seemed like he love him some bulldogs. Pretty hard to imagine seeing that big dude crying. That's passion.
Again thanks for the insight.
My favorite Big Mike photo.. That's great stuff.
