Georgia softball battles, runs out of gas at Duke in shocking 13-5 defeat
A veteran Georgia softball team saw its season come crashing to an end on Sunday night at the hands of No. 12 seed Duke, which will make its first-ever trip to the NCAA Super Regionals and face No. 5 seed UCLA.

So Mike, Georgia got tired in the 2nd game, but Duke didn't? Wouldn't that be a conditioning issue?
Only three SEC team wins. UGA ladies fell apart after the 5-1 lead.. Lots of seniors leaving.....so UGA will need to do some heavy recruiting. SEC performed miserably overall...especially all of the higher seeds. There is always next year.
@Dawggy I should have been more clear --- Georgia played until 1:47 a.m. on Sunday morning -- Duke did not.
Now, that's Georgia's fault for losing that opening game against Liberty 2-0.
And it wasn't like the team was collectively tired, it was more about having to use that No, 1 pitcher up -- again, because they lost that first game, they were playing Games 4-5 of the tourney while Duke was on games 3-4 and without the super late games back to back on Saturday night that started around 8:30 and ended at 145 am
And, Duke was also home hosting the regional, meaning they got to sleep in their own beds.
Georgia cost itself with late-season fade and uninspired loss in opener -- older experienced team that "turned it on" last year may have thought they could do it again.
