Alford's ground ball is fielded by Borba, who goes to second to retire Branch and end the inning.

M6: Georgia 4, Texas 2

[Jeff Howe]

Curley is done. UGA has turned the game over to righty Kolten Smith (2-0, 3.55 ERA).

[Jeff Howe]

Casey Borba with a two-out double down the line and into the right-field corner. Stewart comes up with two outs and a runner in scoring position.

[Jeff Howe]

McCarthy didn't get a good read on that fly ball by Stewart, but he runs it down for the third out of the inning. The Longhorns strand a runner in scoring position in the sixth.

End of 6: Georgia 4, Texas 2

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs works around a one-out single by Zaborowski to keep Georgia off the scoreboard in the top of the seventh. The Longhorns trail by two at stretch time, 4-2.

M7: Georgia 4, Texas 2

[Jeff Howe]

Farmer strikes out to open the Texas seventh.

[Jeff Howe]

Winfield draws a walk. Looked like was at least seeing the ball well on that AB.

[Jeff Howe]

Gumbo Duplantier is in the game to run for Winfield.

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza's pop fly gets caught up in the wind and Jackson loses it. He drops it on the warning track. Texas has runners in scoring position for Flores and the Bulldogs will make a pitching change.

Smith will stay in the game to face Flores.

Texas needed that error

[Jeff Howe]

Flores comes through. He doubles over Obee's head in center field. Both runners score and the game is tied, 4-4.

The wind gets an assist, for sure.

Clutch hitting there!  

[Jeff Howe]

Now UGA makes a pitching change. DJ Radtke is coming into the game.

He's 4-0 (two saves) with a 1.62 ERA. This is his team-leading 13th appearance of the season.

[Jeff Howe]

Flores was 7-for-42 in SEC play before that two-run double.

[Dread-headed Texan]

I'm calling a double for Big Will🤞🏿

 

[Jeff Howe]

After Galvan walks, Gasparino smokes a double to the gap in left-center. Flores and Galvan score with Galvan beating the relay throw.

Gasparino goes to third on the throw after putting Texas on top for the first time today, 6-4.

[bourbasted]

WOWOWOWOW!!!!!  The Gasman getting it DONE!!!

[Jeff Howe]

Gasparino getting to third was huge. Schuessler is retired in left field, but it's an RBI sacrifice fly. Texas is up 7-4 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh.

CJ moving into the Yeti Yard changed the momentum.
