Georgia advances to College World Series for first time since 2008
Summary

The No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs have secured a spot in the College World Series after defeating No. 14 Mississippi State in extra innings during Game 2 of the Athens Super Regional. This marks Georgia's first trip to Omaha since 2008, when they finished as runners-up. With a sold-out crowd at Foley Field, seniors like Kolby Branch emphasized the significance of overcoming last year's Super Regional loss. The Bulldogs aim to build on their previous CWS experience, having won their only title in 1990. Other teams advancing include Ole Miss, Texas, North Carolina, and West Virginia, with the full CWS field to be finalized by Monday afternoon.
