The umpires found the Branch parents to give them the official lineup cards with their boys, Kolby (UGA) and Kyle (Oklahoma), on them.
They are the first brothers to be starters/opponents in a MCWS game, and this was the final time the two faced off in college. 🥹
Niner is 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍 ⭐️
@KolbyBranch was named the ABCA and Rawlings Gold Glove Winner for top shortstop in the nation. He is the fourth Bulldog to earn this honor.

Got to give @BaseballUGA Coach Wes Johnson ALL the credit for managing the pitching staff the way he has in #CWS.
Like Kyle Peterson said on the air, he’s never seen a 2-1 team in elimination situation in better pitching position than the #Dawgs going into tonight’s game vs Sooners and hopefully another one on Thursday.
Wes is a master at ALWAYS putting his players (hitters & pitchers) in the best opportunity to succeed. He always does his homework. He is always prepared. You see him sitting in the dugout with what appears to be a “conductors stand” in front of him. How appropriate. He’s orchestrating a virtuoso performance.
I talk to coaches before every game. I maybe get to squeeze out a few minutes from Wes. He’s always busy with last minute preparations before every game. No time to stand around and chat. Get to the point. Get to the question.
No coincidence #Bulldogs have school record 53 wins….and counting!
Fans enjoy this and appreciate what you are witnessing!
Georgia baseball lost a game on April 25th … then rattled off 11 wins in a row.
Georgia baseball lost a game on May 16th … then rattled off 9 wins in a row.
I don’t know how it’ll go today … but I do know these Diamond Dawgs are hard to kill.
Let’s ride.
Still unwrapping in my mind what we saw from Joey Volchko last night. Truly one of the great individual performances in Georgia sports history. I don’t think that’s hyperbole.
Yes I’m still in absolute awe of the spectacular, dominating performance by Joey V last night… And he looked just as strong on his last pitch as he did his first pitch… GO DAWGS!!
Take a bow, Joey Volchko.
He punches out 15 (!!!) Texas hitters in one of the most memorable College World Series outings in recent memory.
Texas faces elimination against Bama on Monday while Georgia takes on OU in the nightcap same day.
DAWGS PUT ON A SHOW🤯
Ricks, Njie, Costen and Simms clock a school record of 2️⃣:5️⃣7️⃣.9️⃣3️⃣ to win the national title in the 4x400m Relay🏆
