The Oklahoma Sooners edged the Georgia Bulldogs 4-3 in a tightly contested College World Series game on Tuesday, preserving their championship hopes while handing Georgia a pivotal setback.
A Narrow Victory
Georgia’s offense was fueled by solo home runs from Kenny Ishikawa, Brennan Hudson and Daniel Jackson, each delivering a run that narrowed the deficit but ultimately fell short.
Xander Mercurius was the workhorse on the mound for Oklahoma, logging 7.1 innings and striking out nine batters to keep the Sooners in control.
The Bulldogs now face an elimination showdown against Texas, a team they had beaten 7-1 just two days earlier, with a loss set to extinguish what has been described as a historic 2026 season.
Despite a strong offensive showing that produced eight hits, Georgia’s bats struggled to string together rallies, underscoring the fine margins that define postseason play.
