Georgia beats Mississippi State in wild 11-homer…
The eleventh home run of the sport was the distinction.
In a wild tremendous regional contest in the NCAA baseball event, Georgia noticed Mississippi State a seven-run lead, scored 9 consecutive runs, blew their own two-run lead and needed a three-run home run to erase a late two-run deficit in a 13-12 win against rival Mississippi State.
The groups will play again at midday Sunday in the best-of-three collection.
Michael O’Shaughnessy, who was filling in for suspended teammate Tre Phillips at third base, hit his second home run of the sport off the proper area scoreboard with two runners on base in the underside of the eighth inning. It erased Georgia’s 12-10 deficit.
Georgia has owned Mississippi State this season, including successful a three-game SEC collection in April and a assembly in the SEC Tournament.

Mississippi State hit a pair of home runs in building a 7-0 fourth-inning lead, but Georgia answered with 5 runs in the underside of the fourth. O’Shaughnessy’s first home run — a two-run shot as half of his five-RBI day — tied the rating at 7-7, and Georgia tacked on two more runs before the end of the fifth.
It appeared like Mississippi State was going to overcome its collapse when Ryder Woodson tied the sport, 10-10, with a home run in the seventh, and Ace Reese added a go-ahead shot main off the eighth. A bases-loaded hit by pitch pushed the lead to 12-10.
But no lead was secure in this slugfest.
