In brief, Georgia defeats Mississippi State in Game 2.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Georgia clinched a 3-2 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday night at Dudy Noble Field, courtesy of Clayton Chadwick’s solo home run to right field in the ninth inning. The game was marked by a lengthy review in the eighth inning, resulting in multiple ejections. With this triumph, Georgia leveled the weekend series at one game apiece, advancing their record to 24-7 overall and 5-6 in the SEC, while Mississippi State dropped to 20-12 overall and 5-6 in conference play.

In the second game, ambidextrous starting pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje took the mound. Slate Alford, a former Mississippi State player, initiated the inning with a ground single to the right side. Despite Charlie Condon’s soft line out to short, Corey Collins’ double into the right field corner positioned UGA runners at second and third. Logan Jordan’s hit-by-pitch loaded the bases, paving the way for Tre Phelps’ line single to left, bringing the first run for Georgia. Right-hander Leighton Finley handled the bottom half of the inning, retiring the Bulldogs in order with two ground outs and a strikeout.

Cijntje bounced back after a shaky start, striking out the side in the second inning. Finley mirrored the performance by striking out the first two Bulldogs in the bottom half, until Bryce Chance broke through with a single for Mississippi State’s first hit of the game. However, a ground out prevented State from scoring.
