Saturday night, June 13, the College World Series will light up the evening with a marquee matchup as the Georgia Bulldogs take on the Texas Longhorns at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, the game will be carried live on ESPN.
Both programs sit in Bracket 2, a tightly contested group that includes four SEC powerhouses, making every contest a potential turning point in the tournament.
Georgia arrives as the No. 3 national seed and marks its first appearance in the Series since 2008, riding a wave of 19 wins in their last 20 outings, a testament to a season that has been as dominant as it has been consistent.
Texas, seeded sixth nationally, brings a five‑game winning streak of its own and will lean on a duo of All‑American arms, chief among them right‑hander Dylan Volantis, who is expected to start on the mound for the Longhorns.
The winner of this contest will advance to face the victor of the Alabama‑Oklahoma showdown on Monday, June 15 at 7 p.m., while the loser will drop into an elimination game later that same day at 2 p.m., underscoring the high stakes of each pitch.
Key Pitching Matchup
Volantis, celebrated for his sharp command and high strike‑out rates, is expected to test Georgia’s disciplined lineup, which has shown the ability to grind out runs against elite competition.
Georgia’s own pitching staff, anchored by veteran left‑hander, will look to keep the Longhorns’ bats in check, setting up a classic duel that could define the series.
Fans across the country will be watching closely, not only for the outcome of the game but for the narrative it adds to the broader story of college baseball’s resurgence this season.
