ATHENS — Georgia softball answered the bell at Jack Turner Stadium one last time this season and will hit the road with hopes of making it to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.

Tallahassee will be the next stop, where the No. 14-seeded Bulldogs (42-13) will face No. 3-seed Florida State in a best-of-three Super Regional showdown, UGA’s 12th appearance in softball’s version of the Sweet 16.

“We’ll go there and compete,” second-year Georgia coach Tony Baldwin said Sunday afternoon after his Bulldogs run-ruled Virginia Tech by a 12-3 count in six innings.
