ATHENS – Georgia led Clemson 6-5 on the scoreboard, and by the time Seth Beer stepped into the batter's box for his likely last at-bat of the game—the air much colder, the breeze more prominent—most of the sellout crowd at Foley Field had exited prematurely, leaving pockets of committed fans clad in orange or red sprinkled in the stands. Propped in lawn chairs on a hill overlooking the game just past the right-field wall, a few dozen loyal Georgia students stayed the course they set in the first inning, making sure to reserve their loudest heckles for the kid named Beer. Beer—a freshman—had garnered attention all game as he was hit by a pitch in his first two at-bats, walked in his third and popped out in his fourth.
