Georgia Baseball: Athens Regional Day 3 Preview

The Dawgs lost for the fourth time at home this season. In blowout fashion to Florida State. The team now faces do-or-die circumstances. We'll take a look at what needs to be done for the Dawgs to move on to the Super Regional round.

Saturday night did not play out well for the Georgia Bulldogs. After taking a 2-0 lead in the 3rd, thanks to a Maxwell lead-off homer, and a Schunk RBI, Florida State quickly recovered. The Seminoles knotted the game up in the 3rd, and took a 5-2 lead in the 4th.

Georgia's ace pitcher, Emerson Hancock, gave up a season high five runs through four innings.

The Dawgs will now play for the lives heading into Sunday.

Game 5: #1 Georgia vs #2 Florida Atlantic: Sunday, 12 p.m.

This will be a win-or-go-home situation for both teams. If the Dawgs can bring in some steady pitching and get the bats going like they did on Friday, they should be able to earn a rematch against Florida State.

The probable pitchers have not been set for this game.

Game 6: #1 Georgia/#2 Florida Atlantic vs #3 Florida State: Sunday, 6 p.m.

The stakes will begin to raise in Game 6.

The Game 5 winner, hypothetically thinking the Dawgs are in this spot, will match up against the 2-0 Florida State Seminoles. A Seminole win moves them on to the next round. However, if the Game 5 winner takes this game, a Game 7 will be need to be played.

Game 7 (if necessary): #1 Georgia/#2 Florida Atlantic vs #3 Florida State: Monday, 4 p.m.

Game 7 of the Athens Regional will be a winner-take-all game.

The winner of this game will get a spot in the Super Regionals.
