The Texas Longhorns baseball team is staring down elimination in the College World Series, and the stakes could not be higher.
A victory over the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha would keep their national championship hopes alive, while a loss would send them home.
The two programs met earlier in the tournament, with Georgia posting a 7‑1 win that pushed Texas into the losers' bracket.
Georgia, after a setback against Oklahoma that dropped them to the losers' bracket, rallied to capture the SEC regular‑season title and tournament, underscoring their depth and experience.
Texas, meanwhile, fought through a competitive regional and super‑regional, defeating Alabama to earn a second chance against the Bulldogs.
The game will be broadcast live on ESPN, and fans can also tune in via the Texas Longhorns Radio Network and 1300 AM in Austin.
What’s at stake for the Longhorns
Beyond the scoreboard, the matchup tests the resilience of a young Texas squad that must lean on its pitching staff and clutch hitting to overturn a deficit.
If they succeed, the Longhorns will advance to face the winner of the other side of the bracket, keeping their season alive and preserving a chance at a historic finish.
