The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs baseball team faces another major SEC challenge. The Bulldogs go on the road after dropping their first SEC series of the season (two games to one) against the No. 18 Florida Gators. Georgia will plays against the No. 17 Arkansas Razorbacks in a three-game series from Thursday, April 16 to Saturday, April 18.
Arkansas is fresh off an impressive SEC road sweep of the No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide. The Razorbacks have a chance to gain some serious momentum in conference play against Georgia, who has the best record in the SEC.

Georgia (30-8, 11-4 SEC) beat East Tennessee State 12-10 on Tuesday. The Bulldogs will look to get back on track in SEC play against Arkansas.
“After an emotional weekend and hard-fought battle with a good team in other qualities, who we played last, we jump-started the guys a little bit,” Georgia manager Wes Johnson said on Georgia bouncing back after losing the series against Florida. “I thought our offense did fine, and our pitchers did too. We have to keep grinding. Midweeks, at this point in the season, you’re trying to stay healthy; you’re trying to win the game, and then move on. That’s what we did today.”
Arkansas (25-13, 8-7 SEC) is looking to make up some ground in the SEC baseball standings. The Razorbacks are looking to return to Omaha for a second consecutive season. Arkansas is 15-8 at home this year and will be another big test for Georgia.
The Georgia at Arkansas series will be televised on ESPNU on Thursday and SEC Network+ on Friday and Saturday. We predict Georgia will win one game in the the series with Arkansas clinching the series in the third game.
