Beginning last weekend with wins over Indiana, Arizona State, and LSU, followed earlier today with victories over George Mason University (my other alma mater), Virginia Tech (defending champs from 2011), and Vanderbilt, the Georgia Bulldogs have advanced to the Final 4 of the Capital Alumni Network softball tournament.
We play tomorrow at 11:00 against American University (#4 seed). If we get past them, we play the winner of the game between Ohio University (#1 seed) and James Madison University.
Our hero in the Sweet-16 game against Virginia Tech was Chris Walters, who hit a 3-run inside-the-park home run to tie the game when we were down to our last out.
In the Elite-8 game against Vandy, Marieo Foster was the man, with three home runs, each one more titanic than the previous blast.
Yours truly sadly didn’t contribute anything, but us old guys at least provide a steadying veteran presence. Or something like that.
Here’s a pic of the team “calling the Dawgs” before one of the games.
We began the season way back on April 1, when we won the SEC-ACC preseason tournament.
So keep your fingers crossed that we can win two games tomorrow and give the Bulldogs a much-deserved title to close out the season.
Goooooo Dawgs! Sic em!
Dan, sadly, I must say, that is probably the only time Georgia is going to the final four in our lifetimes.
