No. 10 Georgia Welcomes No. 14 Oklahoma To Foley Field

ATHENS, Ga.-----The 10th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (33-10, 10-8 SEC) aim to snap a season-long four-game losing streak when No. 14 Oklahoma makes its first trip to Foley Field for an SEC series starting Thursday at 7:02 p.m. on ESPNU. Game two of the series will be Friday at 6:02 (SECN+) and the series concludes Saturday with a 12:02 first pitch on SEC Network.

Also, of note on Saturday, the Bulldogs will hold their annual Letterman's Day with a special recognition of the 1990 national championship team, the first SEC team to win a baseball title. There will be around 18 Bulldogs from that team expected in attendance to mark the 35th anniversary of the title. Also, Pam Webber, the wife of the late Coach Steve Webber, along with Patricia Rebhan, the wife of the late 1990 College World Series Most Outstanding Player Mike Rebhan, will be attending as well.
