UGA Falls to FSU 8-2
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Freshman Sean Gilmartin pitched a complete game and Jason Stidham had five RBIs in Florida State's 8-2 victory over Georgia on Saturday that advanced the Seminoles to the championship round of the Tallahassee Regional.
Florida State (44-16) jumped out to a 4-0 lead before Georgia senior Trevor Holder (7-5) settled down in the middle innings, retiring 12 consecutive batters during one stretch. Gilmartin (12-3) allowed two runs on five hits.
``Sean Gilmartin did a great job,'' said Georgia coach David Perno, whose team homered seven times a day earlier against Ohio State. ``He had our number. He did a tremendous job a lot of poise for a freshman.''
Georgia (38-23) will play Ohio State in an elimination game Sunday. The winner will play Florida State in the finals.
``It was a game that you really wish you could get excited about, but you can't because there's a lot of baseball left to be played,'' Florida State coach Mike Martin said. ``You wish there was a week between games that you could enjoy. But you can't. You've got to be ready to go (Sunday).''
Gilmartin's only blemish came when he missed with an inside fastball to Georgia cleanup hitter Rich Poythress, who hit his 25th homer, a two-run shot to right field in the fourth inning.
