ATHENS, Ga. – Third-ranked Georgia beat No. 11 Auburn 11-7 and then 9-6 in 10 innings to complete its second consecutive SEC series sweep Saturday in front of a sellout crowd of 3,633 at Foley Field.

Fast Facts in Game One

Georgia plated six runs off of five hits to jump up 6-1 in the fifth inning. Junior Kolby Branch opened the inning with a single, while senior Slate Alford, graduate Christian Adams, and graduate Nolan McCarthy each notched an RBI in the inning. Senior Henry Hunter also hit a ground-rule double for two RBI.
Adams (2-3, HR, 4 RBI) and McCarthy (3-4, HR, 2 RBI) each recorded home runs in the sixth and eighth innings, respectively. McCarthy's was his sixth blast of the season.
After junior Brian Curley went five innings to start, redshirt senior Tyler McLoughlin (4-0) recorded his fourth win of the season, which is tied for the fourth-best record in the SEC. Junior JT Quinn recorded his first career save, pitching the final three innings with four strikeouts.

Fast Facts in Game Two

Georgia used two runs in the first and sixth innings for a 4-3 lead going into the ninth. Graduates Christian Adams and Nolan McCarthy, as well as senior Henry Hunter and junior Kolby Branch, each had an RBI.
After Auburn tied it in the ninth and took a 6-4 lead in the 10th on a two-run home run by Bub Terrell, Georgia responded with a five-run outburst for a walk-off victory. A two-run error tied the game and then Dan Jackson's (1-3, HR, 3 RBI) three-run blast provided the latest walk-off.
Redshirt junior DJ Radtke (4-0) got the win. Junior Matthew Hoskins also struck out three batters in three scoreless innings earlier.
The Bulldogs have posted back-to-back SEC sweeps of ranked teams for the first time since 2008 when they beat No. 9 South Carolina and then No. 9 Kentucky in Lexington.
Georgia's 28-2 mark is the best record in school history after 30 games.

Key Quotes

Ike Cousins Head Baseball Coach Wes Johnson
On battling adversity within the game…
"I talk to them all of the time. If you play with emotions, you're going to have some big, severe ups and downs. If you just play with energy and focus, and you surrender to the process, you'll understand that our game is really hard. You're not going to get a hit every at bat, even though you're trying to, but it's what you learn from that and those guys did that today."

On the atmosphere today…
"I want to thank our crowd, they made it tough. The energy was flowing and we had a lot of fans here. It affects players, and I think it got to them today."

On how it feels to be a key contributor in an SEC win…
"I mean, yeah, this is why I wanted to come here, to be a part of stuff like this. It feels awesome to get that win, especially being down by two. Guys stacking at-bats, putting me in a position where I could get that done. They made it easy on me, it was just awesome that I could be the one to finish it out."

JT Quinn | Jr. | RHP
On the mood of the team right now…
"It's special, man. If we're going to win, it's how much we want to win the game. It's a really cool team, it's really cool to have the depth of guys and the quality of guys to go out and it's really special."
