Georgia softball coach wants the outcomes, it's just not why he does this
Georgia softball coach Tony Baldwin got emotional at the mention of what Team 30 has done for the Classic City in this long haul of a season.
Georgia softball 's season has come to an end in the second game of the NCAA Super Regionals on the road to the Women's College World Series. The 10-seeded team fell to Tennessee in a best-of-three series, 2-0, Friday, May 22 in Knoxville. "As I said last night, the thing that's hard about this time is that you don't get another week with this group," head coach Tony Baldwin said.
"And this group is everything I could ask for as a coach. What they did to represent our university, our program and our fanbase, that's what makes it hurt. But it's a ballgame, and they keep score and we just didn't do enough to come out on top.
Tennessee deserves all the credit for that. " Baldwin got emotional at the mention of what Team 30 has done for the Classic City in this long haul of a season. This was the final game in the red and black for seniors Jaydyn Goodwin, Sarah Gordon, Tyler Ellison, Destin Howard and Marisa Miller, who have spent most, if not all, of their collegiate careers wearing the G.
It's also the final game for players like Natalie Ray and Keirstin Roose, who though they transferred in last summer, have become impact players and people for the Dawgs. "As I said to the team at the end, I wish I had time to punch into Chat GPT, 'What's the right thing to say? ' I don't know that I have all of that right now," Baldwin said with Goodwin and Gordon seated beside him at the press table.
