Georgia Bulldogs Seek Redemption on May 23
The University of Georgia baseball squad took the field on May 23, 2026, facing a formidable opponent in a game that would swing back and forth until the final out.
Early in the contest, Cyr launched a solo homer to center, driving in one run, while McDonald answered with a three‑run blast to left, putting the Bulldogs ahead early.
Mid‑Inning Momentum
The fourth inning brought a flurry of extra‑base hits; Branch doubled to left‑center, and Black followed with a double to left, each adding an RBI. Hudson’s sacrifice fly later in the frame plated another run, and the momentum shifted as the opposition answered with a wild pitch that allowed Lujo to cross the plate.
Late‑Game Drama
In the seventh, Cyr’s single to left added another RBI, and Ishikawa’s double to left‑center brought in two more. The eighth inning saw both Phelps and Jackson deliver sacrifice flies, each scoring a run, but the Bulldogs could not pull ahead.
When the dust settled, the scoreboard read 7‑8, leaving Georgia just one run shy of victory.
