Gullickson digs himself a hole with the first batter with an opening walk.  Lead off walks are always bad news in baseball.  The pitcher is keeping the runner close at first, but the crowd is begging to get restless. Johnson lifts a ball to right center, but Peter Verdin has no problems hauling in the can of corn. So after a leadoff walk, Gullickson gets out of the 1st with a strikeout looking on Mike McGee and gets James Ramsey to fly out. FSU 0 UGA 0
