Georgia Bulldogs ace Emerson Hancock (2-0) had another outstanding performance as the Georgia Bulldogs (12-2) defeated the UMass Minutemen 5-0 on Friday night at Foley Field in a pitcher’s duel.
The Cairo native looked solid through the first three innings allowing zero runs on two hits and striking out four. In the third, the Minutemen had runners on first and second with two outs. Clean-up hitter Connor Smith was up to bat, but Hancock picked off Steve Luttazi at second for the final out to escape the jam.
With Hancock pitching so well, the Georgia offense looked stagnant until the bottom of the fourth inning.
