Georgia baseball earns No. 3 overall seed, learns NCAA baseball tournament schedule
Key Points:
- The Georgia Bulldogs, after winning their first SEC regular season title since 2008 and first SEC Tournament title in program history, will be the No. 3 national seed and host an NCAA regional in Athens starting Friday.
- Georgia (46-12) will face Long Island (30-20) at 7 p.m. Friday on SEC Network, while Liberty (41-19) and Boston College (36-21) will compete earlier in the day at 2 p.m. on ESPN+ in the same regional.
- As a Top 8 national seed, Georgia can host a best-of-three super regional if they win the regional, potentially facing the winner of the Starkville Regional, which includes Mississippi State, Lipscomb, Louisiana, and Cincinnati.
- This marks Georgia’s third consecutive year hosting an Athens Regional under coach Wes Johnson, who has the most wins in his first three years in program history and has led the Bulldogs to notable recent success.
- The NCAA Tournament regionals run Friday through Monday in a double-elimination format, with the Bulldogs aiming to reach the College World Series for the first time since finishing as runner-up in 2008.
