Texas Baseball Live Score for College World Series Opener vs. Georgia

1 day ago 18

Kicking off their time in the College World Series, the No. 6 Texas Longhorns are beginning their quest for a seventh national championship on Saturday evening. Getting there, however, will be much easier said than done.

They open up against the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs, a team that many expect to win their side of the bracket and advance to the championship series. And for good reason, as they swept both the regular season and SEC Tournament crowns before sweeping their regional and super regional.

However, the Longhorns are not limping into this game by any means. Undefeated in the postseason so far, they, too, swept their own Austin Regional and Super Regional to make their way back to Omaha. It is their 39th trip in program history and the first since 2022.

Taking the mound to start for Texas will be Dylan Volantis. One of the best pitchers in the country, the sophomore southpaw has continued his strong campaign with a brilliant pair of outings in the postseason so far.

His most recent came in the Austin Super Regional opener against the Oregon Ducks, in which he tossed 5.1 innings of two-run baseball with 10 strikeouts in the Longhorns' 11-3 victory. Offensively, they have been rolling through their first five tournament games.

It hasn't just been the trio atop the lineup, either. Adrian Rodriguez showed up in a big way against Oregon, driving in seven of Texas' 17 runs — including the go-ahead, two-run double in the eighth inning to fuel them to a 6-5 win in the second game and reach Omaha.
