Ryan WebbTop-ranked Vanderbilt evened a Southeastern Conference series with No. 23 Georgia Friday, posting a 5-2 win at Hawkins Field.
Fans were treated to a pitching duel between sophomore Jack Leiter, who is projected to be one of the first players selected in the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft, and Bulldog senior Ryan Webb in a game that was 1-1 heading to the eighth. Both pitchers registered 13 strikeouts and neither factored in the decision. The Commodores (25-4, 9-2 SEC) erupted for four two-out runs in that frame while a solo home run by Georgia’s Garrett Blaylock in the ninth provided the final score.
