HOW IT HAPPENED

  • In the bottom of the fifth, Samford trailed 4-0. Georgia hit a grand-slam to end the game with an 8-0 lead after five innings.
 IN THE CIRCLE
  • Taylor DeCelles (1-2) got the start in the circle for the Bulldogs, but gave way to Abby Swaney in the middle of first inning.
  • Swaney gave up 5 runs on four hits in 3.1 innings of relief.
