No. 5 Texas Stifles No. 3 Georgia, Wins Series Opener 5-1: Live Game Log

The No. 5 Texas Longhorns (23-4, 8-1) are back in action for another massive SEC tilt, with the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs (29-2, 8-1) for the first of what is going to be a huge three-game weekend series.

While it is only the fourth conference series for both squads, picking up a series win against the caliber of opponent in this one would be huge. Not only would it bode well for the winner's chance to go on and claim an SEC crown, but it would also firmly cement them in the conversation to be a national seed come the postseason.

Georgia enters the weekend boasting one of the nation's top lineups and riding an impressive nine-game winning streak. Through their first 31 games they've averaged over 10 runs per contest and have blasted a whopping 84 home runs as a team.

As for the Longhorns, they are coming off a disappointing loss against Texas State in their latest midweek clash. However, the last time they dropped a midweek game this season was followed by an impressive series win over LSU, which was also at home.
