The Georgia Bulldogs have risen to the No. 3 spot in the May 25 USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll, a reflection of their commanding performance in the SEC Tournament.
That ascent is paired with a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament, marking the first time in school history that the Bulldogs have secured the SEC Tournament championship.
A Late‑Season Surge
Georgia enters the national stage on a roll, having dropped just one loss in their last 15 games and posting a 14‑1 stretch that has left opponents scrambling to contain their offense and pitching staff.
The Bulldogs will host the Athens Regional, a bracket that also includes Liberty, Boston College and Long Island, giving them the advantage of familiar surroundings and a supportive crowd.
Opening Matchup
Their first test will be a showdown against Long Island at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, May 29 at Foley Field in Athens, Georgia, before the double‑elimination format decides which team advances to the next round.
The regional’s double‑elimination structure means every game carries added weight, and the Bulldogs are prepared to meet the challenge with the momentum they have built.
Looking Ahead
With the nation watching, the coaching staff and players are focused on translating their SEC triumph into a deep run in the NCAA brackets, aiming to reshape the program’s postseason narrative.
