Key Quote:
Georgia Head Coach Tony Baldwin
On tonight's win…
"Grateful for just a great night of Georgia softball. What a crowd. This is what Friday nights in the SEC are supposed to be like, and it was an exciting game. I just thought that at the end of the day, we navigated the strike zone really and capitalized on the opportunities we got. I thought Randi [Roelling] competed really well. I don't know that she had her 'A' stuff, but she navigated the at-bats, navigated the game really well. Just happy to get a win on Friday night. Certainly, to get out of here early is a blessing."

#32 Gabi Novickas | Fr. | INF
On her second home run in two games…
"It was an awesome feeling. When you're going up to bat, you have to calm your nerves down. It's a big crowd. It's an SEC series, but I just swung the bat, made contact, hit it, and it went over the fence. It's such an awesome thing to run home to my teammates and to do that for them."

Up Next:
Georgia and Missouri will meet tomorrow for game two of the series at 2:00 p.m. ET on the SEC Network+. Tomorrow, SEC schools leaguewide will participate in the All For Alex Day to commemorate the late Alex Wilcox, a former Mississippi State player who passed away from ovarian cancer in 2018, as well as raising awareness for the ailment and promoting early detection. All active conference member schools will take the field dressed in teal or teal accents.
