No. 7 Georgia blasts Binghamton 20-4 in Athens Regional opening game
No. 7 Georgia blasts Binghamton 20-4 in Athens Regional opening game The Georgia Bulldogs started the Athens Regional with a bang. After a 3 1/2 hour weather delay, No. 7 Georgia (43-15) beat American East champion Binghamton (29-25) by a score of 20-4. Georgia scored five runs in the first inning and never looked back. Binghamton scored two runs off of two singles in the top of the third, but the Bulldogs countered with fifteen unanswered runs in the next five innings. Binghamton scored two more runs on two doubles to reach the final score. Georgia outhit Binghamton 15-6, with four doubles and five home runs. Sophomore first baseman Tre Phelps and sophomore catcher Daniel Jackson each had two home runs. The duo finished with 11 of the 20 RBIs Georgia scored. Junior shortstop Kolby Branch also went 4-4 with a double and two RBIs. In the pitching staff, junior starter Leighton Finley pitched for 6 2/3 innings. He earned seven strikeouts, only allowing a walk, four hits, and two runs. Georgia baseball head coach Wes Johnson praised Finley's start. "I thought Leighton (Finley) came out today and really set the tone in the first. He was attacking the strike zone. When guys can set the tone like that, it calms down everyone in the dugout," said Johnson. Sophomore Zach Brown finished the job, pitching 2 1/3 innings and giving up two runs on two hits and two walks. On Saturday, Georgia faces the Duke Blue Devils (38-19), who won against Oklahoma State 12-5. The game will be televised on SEC Network at 6:00 p.m. ET.

Duke beats Oklahoma State 12-5 at the Athens Regional as the teams combine for 7 home runs
ATHENS, Ga. -- Wallace Clark and Sam Harris each had three hits, Owen Proksch struck out eight in six innings and Duke beat Oklahoma State 12-5 on Friday night at the Athens Regional in a game delayed for over three hours due to weather. Duke (38-19) will play Georgia on Saturday in the winner's bracket. Oklahoma State (28-24) takes on Binghampton in an elimination game. The game featured seven home runs — four by the Cowboys. Ben Miller hit his 19th homer of the year — and Duke's 100th — to begin a six-run third inning. Tyler Albright and Jake Berger also hit homers in the inning for a 9-0 lead. Duke had the bases loaded in the fifth before Jake Hyde tripled to score three for a 12-1 lead. Proksch (3-3) allowed just three hits and two earned runs in six innings — with four strikeouts coming in the first two innings. Reid Easterly struck out the side in the ninth. Oklahoma State had the bases loaded in the third and seventh innings but could not push a run across. Proksch struck out Jayson Jones to end the first threat and Miller secured a slow roller to third and fired to first for a double play. Oklahoma State starter Mario Pesca (7-3) allowed nine earned runs in three innings. Kollin Ritchie, Garrett Shull, Ian Daugherty and Brock Thompson all homered for the Cowboys.
