Hard single up the middle by Alyssa DiCarlo gives UGA 3-2 lead, runners on corners with one out... Another single up the middle, this time by Tina Iosefa, makes it 4-2... K for second out... Another K ends threat... Fast-forward to the bottom of the sixth: FSU's Alex Powers powers one over the left-field fence for a game-tying two-run homer... Seminoles with runners on first and second, two out, in bottom of sixth... Pop-up ends threat... Top 7: Airmailed throw to second on steal attempt puts Georgia runner on third...
