Link Here: GIST THROWS SMOKE AS THE BULLDOGS TAME THE TIGERS<\/a><\/p>\n

Georgia defeated Missouri 3-0 Thursday night at Foley Field.<\/p>\n

This was the Bulldogs fourth SEC win and provides a much needed boost after a crushing 4-0 loss to the other Tigers from Clemson on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Inclement weather forced\u00a0Missouri to fly to Athens the day of the game. They arrived in the early evening and the game was pushed back from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to help accommodate them. It didn\u2019t help much as they looked sluggish on the base paths and their bats were just not able to catch up to Georgia\u2019s pitching. The Bulldogs took advantage and starter Andrew Gist showed no mercy.<\/p>\n

Gist was dominate. The left-hander looked in control and picked the Tigers hitters apart through 6 innings of scoreless work. He didn\u2019t allow a baserunner until the fourth inning and struck out a career high ten batters. This is his second start in a row with at least eight strikeouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just stick to my strengths,\u201d said Gist. \u201cAnd just kept doing what I was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tucker Maxwell finally showed signs of life at the plate. In the third, he brought the small but vocal crowd\u00a0to their feet with a towering solo shot that bounced off the top of the scoreboard in right field.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good to see him barrel that ball up,\u201d said head coach Scott Stricklin. \u201cA leadoff guy doesn\u2019t normally hit home runs but he\u2019s got a lot of pop in his bat.\u201d<\/p>\n

That brought Georgia\u2019s lead to 2-0 and Missouri starter Tanner Houck was visibly shaken afterwards. That was only his second home run allowed this season. That home run also won a fan $1000 for the Home Run Jackpot Inning.<\/p>\n

On defense the Bulldogs looked a little better but still had a couple blemishes on the scorecard. First baseman Adam Sasser dropped the ball as he went to tag a runner who was caught in a rundown and there was a throwing error by third basemen Aaron Schunk. Schunk has been something of a liability at the hot corner and has committed nine errors already this year and fielding only .879.<\/p>\n

He has made up for his lack of fielding with an impressive year at the plate so far. The freshman is hitting .321 and had another good game at the plate with two more hits in the first game against the Tigers.<\/p>\n

Georgia returns to action Friday at 7:00 p.m. for the second game of the series before traveling to SunTrust Park on Saturday for the conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
