Georgia downs LSU, clinches SEC regular season title
Athens, Ga – Georgia checked one of the first boxes when going through a dominant college baseball season, a regular-season conference championship.
Georgia did that on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs are the 2026 regular-season SEC champions. Game two of the three-game set against LSU went the Bulldogs’ way to the tune of a 13-8 decision. The win moved Georgia to 40-11 and 20-9 in SEC play.
That mark was good enough to lock up the number one seed in the SEC Tournament in two weeks in Hoover.
Georgia has one more series to go before Hoover, but the Bulldogs’ four-game league was cemented with losses from Texas to Tennessee (14-9) and Texas A&M to Ole Miss (6-5) on Saturday night.
It is Georgia’s first regular-season SEC title since 2008, which was also Georgia’s last time reaching Omaha for the College World Series.
