Georgia baseball College World Series parting shots from North Carolina State
ATHENS — Georgia baseball was perhaps only inches short — Slate Alford’s deep, deep fly ball to centerfield, caught by a leaping defender — from filling today’s 2 p.m. College World Series slot.

I hated losing to NC State, but they’ve been very classy in their comments regarding our team and fans. Go Dawgs!!!
This year, college baseball seems to have come down to an SEC vs ACC affair. While I always root for SEC teams, NC State has shown skill AND character AND class. They could be the "hot" team in the CWS.
Great step forward for the diamond dogs. Well done, coach Johnson, staff and team! I know this site is dominated by football news (which I love) and the season will be here before we know it, but hope DN will keep us apprised of the top national baseball recruits I hear are committing to next year (shot at #1 recruiting?!) but we know very little about… at least as much as basketball. Go Dawgs!
NCS was very aggressive at the plate attacking the baseball putting runners on and pushing them over. They doubled us up offensively and were solid defensively. Have to admire and respect that. Good on you NCS. Our time is coming.
Go Dawgs!
MLB lost me years ago. Once again, I’m becoming a baseball fan. Thank you, Diamond Dawgs!
Click bait title, much?
IMO..."Pitching" was, is and always will be, the "difference maker" in any postseason series. Your only hope is to ride your hot bat's all the way to the finish line, by outscoring everybody. UGA's lineup was good enough to do that...but, "luck" has to play it's part, as well. This wasn't their year.
However...the future is very bright, in Athens...across the entire “Athletic” Department. All I can say, is...it's about darn time! The Dawgs have toyed with “greatness” before, only to have it slip through their fingers.
They're "on track", now...thanks to Kirby Smart and the AD's strategy. Success on the football field, allowed "all boats to rise", so to “speak.”
If I remember correctly...the same thing happened in Gainesville (Fl) after they won their 1st Natty under Urban Meyer. Never heard much about “Florida” basketball, till after that event. All of a sudden you start hearing about the baseball and basketball teams winning big.
Winning is “contagious”...and Athens is dealing with an epidemic. Lol
“God” Bless the UGA Bulldogs and their entire support system. All I ask, is...that they field a “team” of coaches, athletes and support staff on par with the University's resources....and, Compete! The Championships and accolades will “come.”
Parting shots? The NC State coaches and players were class all the way.
I agree that CKS brings something that can't be bought, coached, or taught. He's a winner. He sets the tone for the entire AD, and arguably the entire school. We are blessed to have him.
The Tennessee/Florida State game the other day was incredible. When I realized I was pulling for Tennessee I threw up a little bit, lol. They have a very, very good second baseman. Best I've seen in a long time. We'll see if they can run the table.
Go Dawgs!
