Georgia Edged by Razorbacks in Series Finale, 4-3
April 08, 2023 | Softball
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The 14th-ranked Georgia softball team was narrowly edged by eighth-ranked Arkansas 4-3 in Saturday's series finale at Bogle Park.
The Razorbacks (28-11, 9-6) came back from a three-run deficit to avoid the series sweep, completing the comeback with a walk-off home run by Cylie Halvorson in the seventh.
Georgia sits at 31-8 on the season and 11-3 in SEC play.
The Bulldogs out-hit the Razorbacks 9-7 in the game, led by three hits from Dallis Goodnight and two from Jayda Kearney and Lyndi Rae Davis each.
Graduate Shelby Walters worked an inning and a third in her start, allowing two runs on five hits. She struck out one and walked three Arkansas hitters. Kylie Macy (3-2) suffered the loss, allowing the tying and go-ahead runs in three innings in relief. Macy struck out five batters and walked none.
Goodnight led off the game with a triple to right center. A fly out to left off the bat of Sara Mosley was plenty deep for the speedy Goodnight to tag and score, putting Georgia ahead 1-0 in the first.
A hit batsman and a walk put two on with two out in the second. Goodnight sent a bounding ball back up the middle to drive Sydney Kuma in and widen the lead to 2-0 for Georgia.
The Dogs added another in the third. Kearney led off with a single to left center, was bunted to second by Jaiden Fields and took third on a wild pitch, then scored on a single to left by Davis, 3-0.
Arkansas loaded the bases with one out in the home half of the fourth. Reagan Johnson singled to left center, driving in two and cutting Georgia's lead to one, 3-2. Macy entered in relief of Walters and struck out the next two Razorbacks to preserve the lead for Georgia.
Hannah Gammill knocked a one-out solo home run in the sixth to knot the game at 3-all.
Halvorson called game, sending a solo home run to left to walk off the Bulldogs, 4-3.
Georgia returns to action this Wednesday in Athens, hosting Georgia Southern at Jack Turner Stadium. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m., streaming live on SEC Network+.
