Georgia closer Brian Curley made the wackiest, most disrespectful move right before ending his team’s game on Tuesday night.
Georgia beat Kennesaw State 6-4 in a midweek clash at Kelly Field in Marietta, Ga., to improve to 4-1 on the season. The Bulldogs fell behind 4-0 but rallied back and scored two in the top of the 9th to take the lead.
Georgia closer Curley entered the 9th and put two runners on, one on a walk and the other on a fielder’s choice. He had runners on first and second with two outs facing cleanup hitter Cam Suto.
Curley had Suto 0-2 and was pitching from a stretch to hold the runners. Curley looked over at second base and then gave a wild tongue wag before delivering a breaking ball that froze Suto for a game-ending strikeout.
That was wild.
As if wagging his tongue at second base wasn’t enough, Curley also threw off his glove after the game ended and held out his hands to his teammates in the dugout. He was doing an arms out “are you not entertained?” type of gesture.
Curley is making a name for himself just a few games into the season. The VCU transfer drew attention over the weekend when he threw 100 mph despite using a weird pitching windup.
Yes, Brian, we are very entertained.
