Erik Wetzel drew a walk to start the eighth and then Steve Susdorf came to the plate.

Georgia huddles on the mound to discuss the possible scenarios. Will Susdorf, the cleanup hitter, bunt?

Georgia third baseman Ryan Peisel played in, but it didn't matter.

Susdorf loaded up and hit a double to right center field.

That put Fresno State ahead 4-3. Then, Tommy Mendonca hit a solo home run and Steve Detwiler added an RBI double.

Fresno State now leads 6-3 and stand six outs from victory. Jason Breckley remains on the mound, entering his third inning.

Closer Brandon Burke went to the bullpen to warm up but the extra runs might allow coach Mike Batesole to save Burke for another day.

Maybe.

If Burke throws today, it'll mark his second straight day, almost assuring that he won't pitch Tuesday if he enters today.

Still, Burke is warming up in the eighth.
