The No. 5 Texas Longhorns (25-4, 10-1) are back in action on Sunday afternoon, wrapping up their three-game conference series against the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs (29-4, 8-3). Having already claimed their fourth SEC series win in four tries, a win on Sunday would give the Longhorns their third sweep.

While the Longhorns' win in the opener on Friday was never truly in doubt, they were tasked with staging a late rally in game two on Saturday. They entered the seventh inning trailing 4-2, with their only runs having come on a two-run home run off the bat of Jaquae Stewart.

However, the seventh saw them complete that much-needed rally. Keeping the line moving with hits and walks alike, they exploded for five runs thanks to a pair of two-run doubles from Jalin Flores and Will Gasparino and capped off by a Kimble Schuessler sac fly to make it 7-4.

That would be all the runs they needed, with Max Grubbs continuing his form of dominance on the mound to secure the win. Now, they go for the series sweep.
