Ten-run second inning propels Bulldogs in a 16-2 final score

ATHENS, Ga. – University of Massachusetts baseball was unable to bounce back from a 10-run second inning for No. 4 nationally-ranked Georgia as the Minutemen fell by a 16-2 score on Saturday at Foley Field. The teams will conclude their three-game series on Sunday in a 1 p.m. game.
 
Freshman Jordan Erbe paced the Minutemen at the plate with a 2-for-4 day with a run scored, and four others contributed hits in fellow freshman Kevin Gower, sophomores Dylan Judd and Steve Luttazi plus redshirt junior Anthony Videtto. It was Erbe's first career multi-hit game.
 
Gower had an RBI single and Judd contributed the other run for UMass on the day.
 
After a scoreless first inning, the Maroon and White found the scoreboard in the top of the second. A one-out single by Judd was followed by a hit batsman in sophomore Christian Walsh. Erbe then laced a base hit to right and a Georgia error on the play allowed Judd to continue home, giving UMass a 1-0 lead.
 
UGA would push 10 across in its half of the frame, belting out nine hits in a sequence sparked by a leadoff single from Connor Tate and a two-run homer off the bat of Cole Tate. The Bulldogs went on to add a run in third inning and five more in the fourth.
 
The Minutemen brought the game to its final score in the ninth, using a two-out single by Erbe, a wild pitch and Gower's base hit to score Erbe.
 
On the mound, Georgia's Cole Wilcox (3-0) fanned six over five innings of one-run ball (unearned), scattering four hits. Massachusetts junior Ben Shields (0-2) took the loss after exiting through 1.2 innings in the start.
