Tigers Defeat Bulldogs
April 11, 2023 | Baseball
ATHENS – Georgia dropped an 8-1 decision to the Clemson Tigers on Tuesday evening in front of a Foley Field crowd of 3,569.
"We couldn't get anything going offensively," Georgia's Ike Cousin's head baseball coach Scott Stricklin said. "They threw a lot of good guys. Hats off to them. They pitched it well. Offensively, we struck out 12 times and had some key strikeouts in big situations. We just weren't good enough offensively tonight. We have to have a good practice tomorrow, get our minds right, get on the bus Thursday and head down to Gainesville to face a very good Florida team."
Georgia (18-15) took an early lead with one run in the third. Graduate Ben Anderson reached with a single to right field and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Graduate Connor Tate knocked his 13th double of the season, a team best, and the 44th of his career to score Anderson.
Clemson (20-14) answered back in the fourth with a three-run homer to left field from Billy Amick, 3-1. The Tigers extended their lead with four runs in the fifth and one in the eighth for the final.
Georgia junior Luke Wagner (1-2) got his first start of the season and worked four innings, allowing three runs on four hits with one strikeout in the loss. Wagner blanked the Tigers for the first three frames before a bloop hit and a two-out walk put two on before Amick's home run. Clemson's Willie Weiss got the win, tossing 0.1 innings with one strikeout. Georgia did get two scoreless innings from Will Pearson and 1.2 innings from Collin Caldwell to highlight the bullpen as five Bulldog relievers saw action. Clemson employed six relievers.
The Bulldogs were held to five hits on the evening. Tate led Georgia with two hits. Redshirt freshman Charlie Condon extended his on base streak to 32 games after drawing a walk in the first. He was intentionally walked in his second plate appearances and finished 0-2.
Georgia returns to SEC action against the No. 2 ranked Gators in a weekend series starting Friday. First pitch will be at 7 p.m. The game will be live on SEC Network + and the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
