Georgia Falls to Ole Miss in SEC Tournament, 9-5
May 12, 2022 | Softball
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Georgia Bulldogs fell to the Ole Miss Rebels in the first round of the SEC Tournament Wednesday, 9-5, at Katie Seashole Presley Stadium.
The Georgia offense out-hit the Rebels in the game, 14-8, led by a four-hit night from sophomore Ellie Armistead. Her four hits was the most by a Georgia Bulldog in an SEC Tournament game. Junior Sara Mosley contributed three hits while Jayda Kearney added two.
Madison Kerpics (18-9) pitched two and two-thirds in her start in the circle, allowing six runs on five hits. Britton Rogers and Lauren Mathis combined for the final three and a third innings in the circle for the Bulldogs (40-16).
A solo home run off the bat of Mosley, her 17th of the season, broke through the scoreless tie in the top of the third for the Bulldogs, 1-0. Kearney followed with a double off the wall in center then took third on a wild pitch. She came in to score on a sharply hit infield single by Sydney Kuma to widen Georgia's lead to 2-0 in the third.
Ole Miss (39-16) responded in a big way in the home half of the inning. Sparked by a two-run home run to tie the game off the bat of Abbey Latham, the Rebels put up six runs in the frame to go ahead 6-2 as the game entered the fourth inning.
The Rebels widened their lead on a three-run home run in the fourth, 9-2.
Georgia began chipping away at the lead in the top of the fifth. Back-to-back singles and a hit by pitch loaded the bases with no out. RBI groundouts from Lyndi Rae Davis and Sydney Chambley pushed two runs across. Kuma touched home on an RBI single to left from Armistead, cutting the Ole Miss lead to 9-5.
The Bulldogs attempted a late-inning comeback in the seventh, loading the bases on three-straight singles. Georgia's comeback fell short as Ole Miss held on to win the game 9-5.
Georgia will await its placement in the NCAA Tournament. The selection show will air Sunday, May 15 at 7 p.m., ET, live on ESPN 2.
