Georgia’s baseball squad captured its first SEC regular‑season championship since 2008, completing a sweep of LSU with a 12‑1 victory on Sunday. The Bulldogs erupted for eight runs in the second inning, a burst that set the tone for the series.
Offensive firepower fuels the run
The team’s .328 batting average and 140 home runs top the conference, with Daniel Jackson leading at .384 and 25 homers, while Tre Phelps sits second at .374 and 18 homers. Eleven hitters are batting .305 or above, underscoring depth. Guided by Wes Johnson, the Bulldogs have refined their approach to capitalize on this momentum.
Pitcher Caden Aoki delivered a strong outing, striking out seven Tigers over five innings, while the broader roster — featuring Rylan Lujo, Michael O'Shaughnessy, Brennan Hudson, Henry Allen and John Frierson — adds depth and flexibility.
The win extends a nine‑game win streak as the Bulldogs turn their attention to the postseason, hoping the momentum will carry them to further success.
