Austin Sexton pitched into the 9th inning, giving up three runs on the night. He earned the win, improving his record to 5-2 on the year. The Bulldogs are 6-2 in SEC games he pitches….equal to the record in conference games where Dakota Hudson pitches. While the two hurlers have different approaches, they are equally effective.
