Georgia Bulldogs Dominate Binghamton 20-4 in NCAA Regional Opener

The No. 7 nationally seeded Georgia Bulldogs dominated Binghamton 20-4 in the opening game of the Athens Regional, powered by two home runs each from Tre Phelps and Daniel Jackson. Phelps contributed four hits, five RBIs, and four runs scored, while Jackson drove in six runs, including two three-run homers that helped establish an early lead. Georgia scored in six of eight innings, with Kolby Branch delivering a career-high four hits and two RBIs, while Nolan McCarthy added a home run and three RBIs. Starter Leighton Finley pitched 6.2 strong innings, allowing two runs and striking out seven, with Zack Brown closing out the game. Binghamton used a heavily taxed bullpen after their starter was pulled early, setting up a crucial elimination game for them on Saturday. Georgia will face the winner of the Duke-Oklahoma State matchup next, maintaining momentum in the regional tournament.
