After a scoreless first, the Bulldogs (13-4) jumped ahead by five in the top of the second using a pair of two-RBI doubles and a groundout that plated another run. A quiet third ensued, but Georgia pushed further in front in the top of the fourth, scoring two more by way of a wild pitch and another RBI groundout for a 7-0 lead. Neither side made any noise at the dish in the fifth, but the Bulldogs knocked a sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth for what proved to be the final run, closing out the bottom of the frame to conclude an 8-0 (6) win.
