Nothing has been decided. Georgia starter Rob Moravek struggled. Keppinger's lead-off homer in the fourth brought the Diamond Dogs even, but Florida State sent 11 batters to the plate in the inning's bottom half, scoring five times. The home run, which just snuck over the left-field wall, was Hart's first of the year. The kids are juiced up out there.
Strange things happen at tournament time.
Moravek received his exit card after walking Bryan Zech, but reliever Shaun Helmey didn't fare any better and allowed three more hits as Florida State scored twice more. Havel followed Helmey and kept the contest from getting out of hand by getting Tony Richie to ground out, scoring Ryan Barthelemy, before retiring Smith and Hart to end the inning. If there is a third game, Georgia will be the home team. Copyright 1999-2001, Morris Communications Corporation and The E.W. Scripps Company. Please read our Privacy Policy.
