Lipscomb @ Georgia

3:00 p.m. -- 4-2 Georgia after 2. Caleb Joseph homered in the first, but a Brandon Cadavid error prolonged the bottom of the first for the Bulldogs, eventually plating 4 unearned runs. Lipscomb got one back in the top of the second. More later.

3:30 p.m. -- Top of 5, 4-4 tie. Lipscomb got a 2-run homer in the top of the fourth from Blake Bratcher to tie. Now they have a lead-off walk in the fifth, and Georgia looks nervous. Rex Brothers has settled down after a shaky couple of innings. Lipscomb is in business, 1st and 2nd, nobody out. Stay tuned.

3:45 p.m. -- As soon as I post the last entry, Lipscomb goes on a 4-run rally. Shane Simpkins capped the rally with a 2-run bomb. They lead 8-4 after 5. Repeat after me: I will not get my hopes up. I will not get my hopes up. I will not get my hopes up . . .

4:05 p.m. -- Lipscomb got a run on a wild pitch i nthe sixth, but Georgia just answered with a 2-run homer. 9-6, 1 on, 1 out, bottom of 6. Pitching change: Rex Brothers is done. Chris Burnett is on.

4:30 p.m. -- DOH! No change in score, but there almost was. Jo-jo Guitierrez just belted one deep to left field, but the Georgia outfielder climbed the wall and pulled it back in. Top 8, 2 out, 9-6 Lipscomb.

4:45 p.m. -- Here we go. Georgia has 1st and 2nd, 1 out, and the SEC Player of the Year up. Lipscomb brings in Kyle Tognazinni. Base hit Gordon, Georgia is within 2.

4:46 p.m. -- Never mind. Poithres bangs into a 1-4-3 DP to end the threat. 9-7 Lipscomb, End of 8.

4:57 p.m. -- A sacrifice fly puts Lipscomb back up 10-7. 3-run lead, 3 outs to go.

5:00 p.m. -- Ground ball to Jo-Jo. Ground ball to Ben at second. Pop-up to Bratcher.

BALL GAME! BISONS WIN! BISONS WIN!!!!!
