Oklahoma starter Kyson Witherspoon got the better of the battle. Witherspoon went seven innings. He struck out eight batters. He only allowed a single run, which was a Tre Phelps’ solo home run.

The Georgia offense has struggled in the last few games. The Bulldogs were shut out by Clemson. Vanderbilt held the Georgia offense to 10 runs over the weekend, seven of which came in game two of the series on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs’ bats came to life in the eighth inning to cut an 8-1 Oklahoma lead to 8-5. Georgia made another run in the bottom of the ninth. They scored one run and brought Slate Alford to the plate with a man on. Alford ultimately struck out to close the game.
