1st Inning: Dawgs Attack First By Scoring Five. Auburn Answers By Adding Two (5-2 UGA.)

Top: RHP Andreas Alvarez will take the mound first for the Tigers. Tre Phelps will start the game by striking out swinging. Daniel Jackson comes into the box next, and he earns an infield single to third base. O'Shaughnessy looks in next, and he hits a lazy fly out to third base. Lujo climbs into the box next, and he rips a single into left-center field; Jackson advances to third. Ishikawa steps in next, and he takes four straight balls to load the bases. Wynn looks to stay hot, and with the bases loaded, he slices a two RBI single to right field; Jackson and Lujo score, Ishikawa to third. Oriach looks in next; Wynn steals second base. Oriach proceeds to smoke a laser that clears the wall in right-center field for a three-run homer. Branch looks to join the party, but he flies out to right field.

Bottom: Dylan Vigue will start on the mound for the Dawgs. Mason McCraine will lead off for the Tigers, and he grounds out to the pitcher. Guevara steps into the box next, and he grounds out to third base. Fralick looks to avoid a 1,2,3 inning, and he gets beamed by a 96 mph fastball on his calf. Rembert climbs into the box next, and he slices a double down the right field corner; Fralick advances to third. Bingaman looks in next with two runners on, and with two outs, he stings a single up the middle that gets by Wynn for a 2 RBI single. Terrell walks into the box next, and he grounds into a fielder's choice, which ends the inning.

In game one, the University of Georgia defeated Auburn 2-1 in an electric rubber match. Joey Volchko struggled with his command in the first couple of innings. The right-hander figured his stuff out and retired the Tigers quickly. Volchko pitched 6 innings, and Matt Scott came into the game in the seventh inning and shut the game out. Another game where UGA only uses two pitchers.

Auburn would catch the lead early, but Georgia would answer a couple of innings later. Daniel Jackson got the party started by showing why he's the best catcher in college football. He obliterated an off-speed pitch over everything in left center field. The Dawgs and Tigers went back and forth with great defensive stands.

It wasn't until later in the game when Ryan Wynn set sail to an inside heater. Wynn scored a go-ahead homer late in the game, and it was enough to take game one over the Tigers.

Game two is set up to be another close one. Auburn is ranked #5 in the country, and Georgia is ranked #4 in the country. To add on to the stakes, the University of Georgia is 10-0 in its two games this season, and will look for a perfect record for game two tonight.

Kolby Branch may have saved the game last night in the 8th inning. With a runner on second and first, Auburn ripped a linedrive that had eyes for the left-center field gap. If the ball had gone through, the game could have been tied, if not more. Kolby Branch had different plans. He would climb the ladder and stretch out for a clutch, game-saving robbery.

Tre Phelps seemed to struggle at the plate, but if there were a time to start heating up, it would be now, as the SEC tournament play starts in just two weeks. Tre Phelps has proven to be a threat throughout the regular season, and he can only imagine how electric his postseason run could be.

Expect tonight to be a great rivalry fight between two historic teams who need a win on their record. Auburn would love nothing more than to beat Georgia, but the Dawgs are riding a 10-game winning streak and are looking to stay dominant.
