It looks like Max Grubbs is getting loose in the Texas bullpen.

Obee goes from first to third on a single to right by Dan Jackson. It's first and third for UGA with no outs after the Bulldogs' fourth hit off Harrison.

A great play by Schuessler to dig out a hard-hit ground ball by Henry. He nails Obee on a play home for the first out of the inning.

It's first and second with one out for UGA with Branch up to bat.

Harrison is closing in on 60 pitches.

Harrison goes to the breaking ball to retire Branch on strikes. Alford is up with two on and two outs.

Alford with an RBI double that hugs the line into right field. It's a 4-0 lead for UGA. RISP for the Bulldogs with two outs.

Burnett goes down on strikes to end the inning with two left on base for UGA.

M4: Georgia 4, Texas 0

Galvan strikes out swinging to lead off the fourth, the sixth K by Curley today.

Gasparino flies out to center, Schuessler grounds out to first and the inning is over. The Longhorns are still looking for their first hit through four against Curley.

End of 4: Georgia 4, Texas 0

You’d think the second time through we’d have much better ABs.  This guy is a 2 pitch pitcher.

Harrison opens the fifth by hitting Zaborowski with a pitch. That's three innings in a row in which the UGA leadoff man has reached base.

A No. 2 who throws in the mid-90s, came into the weekend leading them in strikeouts and has held opponents to a batting average of .125. The bats have struggled, but there's a reason Georgia is a top-three team and why Wes Johnson is considered one of the best pitching coaches in the country.

Obee puts a charge into one, but it dies short of the monster in center field. Gasparino makes the catch to end the inning.

Does that change anything I said?  He was a reliever who moved into the rotation and has two pitches.  The ABs should get bette the second time through.  

Borba, Stewart and Farmer are due up in the Texas fifth.

It adds context. Curley isn't a run-of-the-mill No. 2. The top tier of the SEC is stacked with quality arms, and that includes Georgia. Texas needs to put together better at-bats, but I'll give Curley some credit.

BOOM! STEWART WITH A LASER TO RIGHT! 

Jaquae Stewart's first home run as a Longhorn is a two-run shot to right field off Curley. The ball jumped off the bat and over the wall. It's a 4-2 game with no outs in the bottom of the fifth.

Farmer squares one up and drives it into left field for a base hit. Texas suddenly has the tying run at the plate with no outs in the bottom of the fifth.
