Charles Davalan doubled to lead off the third for Arkansas, and later scored off an RBI groundout from Logan Maxwell. Georgia responded once again with a monster solo homer from Ryalnd Zaborowski to lead off the bottom of the third.
Ryan Black crushed an RBI double into the left centerfield gap in the bottom of the sixth to extend the Georgia lead to 7-3.
The Razorbacks did not go down without a fight, as Kuhio Aloy crushed a two-run homer in the top of the eighth to make the score 7-5. Georgia LHP Charlie Goldstein came in and got the final out of the inning, stranding two runners on base.
Matthew Hoskins came in to pitch with two runners on in the bottom of the ninth and closed the game, only allowing one run to score. Georgia and Arkansas will play the rubber match tomorrow at 1 pm.
