M2: Georgia 1, Texas 0

Casey Borba draws a two-out walk in the bottom of the second. Let's see if Jaquae Steward can get it going for the Longhorns.

Nope. Curley rings up Stewart on strikes to end the inning with Borba stranded on second.

Branch draws a leadoff walk. Harrison makes his second trip through the UGA lineup with a runner on first and no outs in the top of the third.

[Jeff Howe]

Branch moves into scoring position on a balk call. Schloss is out to discuss it.

[Jeff Howe]

After Alford walks, Burnett drills a pitch to right field for an RBI double. It's a 2-0 lead for UGA, RISP with no outs in the top of the third.

[Jeff Howe]

Zaborowski fouls off Harrison's 40th pitch of the day.

Nothing shaking in the Texas bullpen yet.

[Jeff Howe]

Zaborowski reaches on a 6-5 fielder's choice. Alford scores, Burnett is out and Zaborowski is on first.

UGA has a 3-0 lead with one out in the top of the third.

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison gets out of the inning by striking out McCarthy and getting Jones to ground into a 6-4 fielder's choice.

[Jeff Howe]

M3: Georgia 3, Texas 0

[Jeff Howe]

This UGA lineup wasn't going to stay down all weekend. Three runs on two hits for the Bulldogs.

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss isn't happy with a couple of borderline calls leading up to Schuessler's strikeout to lead off the bottom of the third. 

[Jeff Howe]

Easton Winfield draws a one-out walk. We're back to the top of the order with Mendoza coming to the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

Curley gets a mound visit after throwing a first-pitch ball to Mendoza.

[Jeff Howe]

Looks like UGA is dealing with a pitch com issue.

[Jeff Howe]

Helluva play by Branch to retire Winfield on a 6-4 fielder's choice. Mendoza is on first with two outs and Flores up to bat.

[Jeff Howe]

Flores entered today 7-for-39 in SEC play with almost as many strikeouts (13) as total bases (17).

[Jeff Howe]

Flores swings and misses on a two-strike pitch and the inning is over.

The Longhorns strand one and trail 3-0 after three.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 3: Georgia 3, Texas 0

With Max out for a while Flores needs to step up.  He’s waving at the ball and completely off balance every AB

[Jeff Howe]

Obee drives one through the right side for a base hit to lead off the UGA fourth.
