Head coach Wes Johnson kept perspective, saying, “This was the first time since we clinched the SEC that a game got away from us. We tried to get some guys in there that hadn’t been in there a while and give some at bats to some guys and do some different things. Once it got away from us, I wanted to see a few of these arms that hadn’t pitched in a while.” The coach added that the team will refocus on the tournament and then prepare for regionals.

On the courts, the No. 1 Georgia women’s team fell 4-3 to No. 4 Texas A&M at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. The doubles pairing Lopata and Paukstyte won, and Deniz Dilek scored a big singles victory.
