No. 10 Kentucky Rallies Past Georgia
April 07, 2023 | Baseball
ATHENS, GA.-----Tenth-ranked Kentucky tallied seven runs over the final three frames to post a 7-4 win over Georgia Friday at Foley Field.
Georgia left-hander Jaden Woods carried a no-hitter for 5.2 innings before allowing a single to Jase Felker. The Bulldogs (16-14, 1-9 SEC) struck for four runs in the bottom of the sixth starting with a solo home run by redshirt freshman Charlie Condon, his team-leading 12th of the year. Sebastian Murillo lined a two-run single to right and Mason LaPlante's sacrifice fly gave the Bulldogs a 4-0 lead off UK reliever Darren Williams.
Then, the Wildcats (27-3, 9-1 SEC) started to rally back in the seventh, scoring three runs on three hits to chase Woods as the Bulldogs turned to freshman Matthew Hoskins and then sophomore Chandler Marsh. They combined to walk six over the next 1.2 innings including the go-ahead run in the ninth when Emilien Pitre picked up an RBI to put the Wildcats in front 5-4. Kentucky added a pair of insurance runs for the final.
"We had fight, and we had energy today and again played well until we got to the later innings," said Georgia's Ike Cousins head coach Scott Stricklin. "We need to continue to have fight tomorrow. We were prepared to win today. We keep waiting for something good to happen. We can't allow the other team free passes, and that's what happened tonight."
Kentucky's reliever Mason Moore tossed three shutout innings to improve to 2-0 while Marsh dropped to 1-1. Woods' final line featured 6.2 innings with six strikeouts while he gave up three runs on four hits.
The series will continue Saturday with first pitch at 2 pm (SECN+), and the game will be available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
