Sunday was an absolute smasher of a day, if you are of the mindset that nothing’s better than beating Tennessee, and doing it in the most astoundingly painful way for them. The Diamond Dawgs beat the Vowels 8-7, and opened the SEC conference schedule with a series win. But that’s hardly the best part.
First, the game kicked off with Nolan McGill, the “I Refuse to Sing Rocky Top” kid, throwing out the first pitch. You have to listen to the PA announcement, and the beauty of standing out there on the pitching mound with the whole team of Vols looking on was something rich. Trust me, though, it gets better.
The game was rainy, and the Dawgs found themselves down 5-0 midway through the game. Several three-ups and three-downs, as Tennessee has some guys who can sling it, to their credit.
Georgia finally got the bats going, playing some decent small ball and Tennessee got a 6th score in the 7th to go up again, then this happened.
Georgia was getting some solid pitching out the bullpen, then ran into some issues in the Top of the 9th, with one run scoring. Then, in a manner that is only appropriate for Tennessee, the best part of the game happened. With a runner on and down to their last out, up walks Lawless to play hero.
Dear Lord, after watching Gunner drop a dime to London Humphreys and a missed kick later, this was just about as sweet. What’s sweeter is that Lawless thought he had a sure homerun and was doing quite the bit of grandstanding.
Glory, Glory. And that kid was there to witness it. Something tells me they have a Dawg fan for life now.
Go Dawgs!
Tennessee baseball player being a douche just to make the last out of the game … hahahahahaha!
Young Mr. McGill, you are a legend. Get that kid his UGA acceptance letter now, North Campus. He deserves a Foundation Fellow scholarship.
In memory of Ranger Russ,

Perfect way to send the Hillbillies back to Knoxville.
😂😂😂😂
Hopefully, it doesn’t take Kenny Ishikawa too long to knock the rust off and get back going. We need him pitching well as a weekend starter again. Also, hope to see him back in center field and leading off soon. Although the offense hasn’t seems to skip much of a beat while he has been out nursing the foot injury.
The hobnail boot of baseball!!! FTMF’s!!! Go Dawgs!!
Pride comes before the fall….or out.
the butt chuggers’ sads in the social media about it were glorious. It got surreal when I saw Lance Kiffin retweet MkAfee laughing aboot it. We are in times…
Ahem… bro, your bat is over there. Might wanna scoop that up.
Way to go douche bag. Now, go get on the bus dipshit. FTMFs!
Damn that was fun to watch. GO Dawgs!

It was a glorious finish, completed by the douchery of the hitter! He was so cocksure he’d won the game followed by the amazing realization crossing his face. That’s one series down, next up are the Aggies in College Station. Let’s knock em down one at a time Dawgs!
