Box Score
ATHENS - Freshman Josh Morris went 2-for-3 including a three-run home run to lead the Bulldogs past Georgia Southern 9-5 Tuesday at Foley Field.
The Eagles (9-12) took a brief 1-0 lead in the second. Flint Wipke lined a two-out double off Georgia starter David Timm. Then, left fielder Mike Economos' base hit scored Wipke. Georgia (13-3) answered with four runs in the bottom of the frame, thanks in part to an error by first baseman Greg Dowling with the bases loaded that allowed three runs to score. Bobby Felmy bounced a ball to Downling and it went under his glove and down the right field line.
The Eagles drew back to within one, scoring two runs in the fourth and chasing Timm as the Bulldogs turned to redshirt freshman Josh McLaughlin. With two on and one out, McLaughlin struck out Cam Caldwell, and after a walk to Logan Phillips, he got James Payne to ground out to end the threat.
