Not this time.

One game removed from a classic comeback against the Tennessee Volunteers, No. 7 Georgia softball was unable to catch back up with the No. 18 Florida State Seminoles, falling 4-3 despite a valiant effort in the seventh inning.

The Bulldogs (22-5) loaded the bases twice in the final inning after being held in check for the majority of the game by Sarah Hamilton, the 2009 ACC Pitcher of the Year. But Georgia was unable to produce the game-tying or clinching hit.

“I’ve heard on the TV when announcers say ‘This Georgia team is never out until the last out,” said sophomore Ashley Razey, who hit in all three runs for the Bulldogs. “I feel that is very true whether or not Taylor [Schlopy] is up or [Ashley Pauly] is up — whether it is our one or nine hitter, I feel like we always have a chance. If there is one pitch left, we have a chance.”

The Bulldogs provided themselves plenty of chances in the contest, but would go on to strand 11 runners on base and fall short for their third home loss of the season.

The Seminoles (28-6) jumped on the scoreboard in the top of the second inning as second baseman Mallory Borden launched a solo home run off of sophomore pitcher Erin Arevalo (13-4) to nab the 1-0 lead.

Georgia would answer after loading the bases without a single out off of Hamilton (14-3) in the third.

With one out, Razey stepped in and hit a high fly ball to right field — just far enough to allow Schlopy to barely squeeze past the catcher’s tag to tie the score at 1-1.

But the Bulldogs could only muster one run as Hamilton escaped the inning by way of the sacrifice fly and two strikeouts.

The score would remain deadlocked until Florida State’s Jen Lapicki stepped into the batter’s box in the sixth inning, hitting a three-run home run to put Georgia in a late-inning hole.

But, as usual when behind this season, Georgia was able to mount one last gasp in the final frame — with Razey hitting a two-RBI single to bring Georgia within one run.

Hamilton was finally able to shut the door, though, with a strikeout and a nice diving play by shortstop Ashley Stager.

Despite not pulling out the clutch hit this time against Florida State, the players seem more than willing to embrace the same pressure again.

“Our lineup is stacked — one through nine we just have an amazing lineup,” Razey said. “We always have to keep thinking positive whether or not we have the bases loaded or even just a runner on first.”
