Stanley keeps the hands back just long enough to line this one back up the middle. Compact swing with athletic actions in the box#PBJFG24 pic.twitter.com/BNhRs0GfWA

Grant Chaffin led off the bottom of the second with a single into left field showing off a nice opposite field approach. Chaffin is caught stealing a few pitches later and that ends the frame for Team Georgia in the bottom of the second. Nelson Gave up his first hit in the top of the third inning, he wasn’t phased as he got a pop-fly out to end the top of the third, still scoreless, 0-0.

Chaffin gets on barrel nice here shooting this one on a line between the 5-6 gap. Creates flat bat plane that stays on plane well.

Jackson Bredeson led off the bottom of the third inning with a hard fought walk, stole second a few pitches later, Brody Lutz drew a walk and then both were stranded after an inning-ending double-play. Tripp Swords comes in relief in the top of the fourth and surrenders a pair of singles but comes back to sit down the next three in order. In the top of the fifth, collected a strikeout and a pair of ground balls that ended the frame. Swords helped himself with a line drive into left field through the infield gap but left stranded at third to end the fourth. Solid outing as he fanned three in three innings, gave up 3 hits and 1 ER, Team Alabama takes the lead 1-0.

Intriguing look at the @PBR_Uncommitted arm today. Showcased a shorter arm action that got on hitters quick and show innate ability to work the ball in and out. Flashed a tight slider and a fading changeup to pair with FB

Bredickas ran into some bad BIP luck, but showed an intriguing arsenal in his relief stint
