Pregame Notes

Dave Van Horn has shuffled his batting order, moving Matt Goodheart from the 2-hole to the 6-hole and bumping everyone else up a spot. He is also starting Jacob Nesbit at third base and hitting him ninth.

Georgia is using the same lineup and order as Saturday.

Both lineups are listed below.

T-3rd: Georgia 3, Arkansas 0

The Bulldogs strike first with three straight singles to start the third. The last of them was an RBI for Ben Anderson.

All three of those players ended up scoring, as Garrett Blaylock hit a two-out single that drove in the other two.

B-5th: Georgia 3, Arkansas 2

After a leadoff double by Matt Goodheart and single by Casey Opitz put runners on second and third, Jalen Battles drove them in with a single of his own.

B-6th: Arkansas 3, Georgia 3

A two-out home run by Matt Goodheart ties the game.

B-7th: Arkansas 5, Georgia 3

The Razorbacks have their first lead of the game thanks to a leadoff home run by Jalen Battles over the center field wall. With two outs, Christian Franklin added an RBI single.
