Georgia entered its weekend series with Texas with a 29-2 record. It’s over now and the Bulldogs have the same number of wins and more losses than it had coming in. The Bulldogs fell 4-3 in 10 innings on Sunday as the Longhorns completed the three-game sweep.

Texas was dominant on Friday night, beating Georgia 5-1. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 4-0 lead on Saturday but they fell apart in the middle and late innings, losing 7-4. Sunday was a back-and-forth contest where Wes Johnson’s crew just couldn’t come up with the big hit.

An opportunity to draw first blood on Sunday was squandered in the first inning when Ryan Black led the game off with a double. The Bulldogs got Black to third with one out but Robbie Burnett struck out and Black was later thrown out at the plate trying to score on a passed ball.

The Longhorns grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second but Georgia answered back in the third when Burnett drew a bases-loaded walk. That came with one out and Ryland Zaborowski came up next. He grounded into a 5-3 double play to end the threat

Black broke the tire with a solo homerun to right-center field in the top of the fifth inning but that lead didn’t last long. Texas got a two-run homerun from Jalin Flores in the bottom of the sixth to take a 3-2 lead.

Georgia went deep again to tie the game at three as Nolan McCarthy smacked his second dinger of the weekend. That tied the game at three with no outs in the top of the seventh and Texas turned to freshman lefty Dylan Volantis. He dominated the Bulldogs with four hitless, scoreless innings. Georgia managed two base runners — one via walk and another via error.

The Longhorns made those clean innings count in the bottom of the 10th when Rylan Galvan hammered a walk-off home run to send the humbled Bulldogs back to Athens. Georgia is now 29-5 on the year and 8-5 in the SEC. Texas moved its record to 11-1 in the SEC and 26-4 on the year.

Next up for the Bulldogs is a matchup with Presbyterian on Tuesday. That’ll be followed by a three- game series with Arkansas at Foley Field next weekend. The Razorbacks are ranked No. 2 in the nation per D1 Baseball.
