Georgia won the first game 4-2. Big turning point was top of the 3rd left bases loaded. At that time Bama was up 1-0.

The Crimson Tide brought the potential go-ahead run to the plate in the seventh inning

ATHENS, Ga. – Trialing by two in the seventh inning, Alabama brought the potential go-ahead run to the plate but Georgia ultimately held on to secure the 4-2 win and take Friday's series opener.

Alabama (21-4, 1-3 SEC) got on the board first with a second-inning solo home run from Kenleigh Cahalan and led until Georgia (22-3, 1-0 SEC) hit a three-run home run with two outs in the fourth to move in front, 3-1. Kali Heivilin made it a one-run game in the next half-inning, banging a solo homer off the foul pole in right but the Bulldogs stretched back ahead by two in the home half of the fifth with an RBI single. Trailing by two in the top of the seventh, Jenna Johnson poked a one-out single into right field and Heivilin followed with a hit-by-pitch, putting the potential tying run on base. A pair of strikeouts got Georgia out of the jam and gave the home team the win.

Murphy still making bank off that 2012 NC.

 

[Bammerboy321]

We need to move on from Murphy.

 

[kbama15]

This team is just not that good. Maybe they’ll turn it around but, it’s time to find a new coach. We Will struggling with all SEC teams.

Salter has faced three batters. Two hits and a walk...

 

[bama alum]

Just got run-ruled, again this season. I don't remember Bama getting this twice in a season, much less twice in a month.

What we are seeing now is the results of what’s been happening over the past 6-7 years. Pitchers like Fouts and Kilfoyl covered, in many situations, for Murphy’s inept batting and hitting problems. Not to mention, the plate production of transfers like Skylar Wallace and Goodnight. The last true power hitter Bama had was Bailey Hemphill. With Murphy at the helm this program will continue to decline.

Game three of the weekend series will air on the SEC Network Sunday at 11 a.m. CT

ATHENS, Ga. – Alabama dropped its second game of the weekend Saturday afternoon as Georgia clinched the three-game series with an 11-3 win in five innings.
Alabama (21-5, 1-4 SEC) fell behind early after a pair of Georgia (23-3, 2-0 SEC) home runs in the first and second innings quickly made it 6-0. The Crimson Tide got one back with an RBI double from Kenleigh Cahalan in the top of the fourth that was lost in the sun before the Bulldogs tacked on another pair in the next half-inning to make it 8-1. With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the fifth, the sun aided Alabama with another hit, a two-run single from Abby Duchscherer to make it 8-3. Needing three more runs for a run-rule victory in the bottom of the fifth, a solo home run and two-run single ended the game early for the Bulldogs to take the game, 11-3, and the weekend series.

 

[PurlJam]

2 SEC series in and we're batting .183, not much room to go lower.

 

[bamanc50]

Well, it’s 5-3 Bama going to the bottom of the 7th. Maybe they can hold on and get 1 win in this series.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Beaver with the CG, Bama avoids the sweep in Athens...

 

[kbama15]

Way to go ladies! Great win! But start playing on Friday! Roll Tide!

 

[alabama mike]

Nice win to pick up game 3 and not be swept.
