Three Georgia pitchers combined on six innings of
scoreless, one-hit relief and Matt Cerione’s two-out, two-run single
lifted the eighth-seeded Bulldogs to a 4-3 victory over Stanford Monday
night in a winners’ bracket contest at the Men’s College World Series.
Trailing 3-2 in the seventh inning, the first two hitters of the inning were retired by Stanford reliever Austin Yount. But a pair of walks and a hit batsman loaded the bases for Cerione who delivered a single back up the middle to drive home Gordon Beckham and Rich Poythress and give the Bulldogs their first lead of the game. The story of the game, however, was the Georgia bullpen trio of Stephen Dodson, Alex McRee and Josh Fields. The group faced just three more than the minimum in its six innings of work and combined to allow just one hit and three walks while striking out four. McRee (7-1) gets the win striking out two of the four batters he faced and Fields notched his 17th save of the season. Georgia (43-23-1) now sits just one win away from an appearance in the Championship Finals and has three days off before playing again on Friday at 1 p.m. (Central). Stanford (40-23-2) falls to the losers’ bracket where the Cardinal will play Miami (Fla.) Wednesday at 6 p.m. (Central). Stanford broke a scoreless tie in the third inning. Cardinal 3B Zach Jones led off the inning with a triple that hit high off the left field wall. A ground out by Jake Schlander scored Jones to make it 1-0. With two outs, Joe August doubled and scored on Jason Castro’s home run into the right field bleachers. Georgia cut into the lead in the fourth on Cerione’s two-out double into left field that scored Beckham from second and cut the lead to 3-1. In the sixth, two walks and a single loaded the bases for Georgia. Yount entered the game for Stanford but walked Bulldog pinch-hitter Robbie O’Bryan to cut the margin to 3-2 and keep the bases loaded. Lyle Allen then fouled off eight of the first 12 pitches he saw from Yount but the 13th pitch was a fastball high in the strike zone that Allen swung through for the inning’s second out. David Thoms then lined a pitch right at Stanford 1B Brent Milleville for the final out of the inning. |
