Georgia baseball celebrates Sour Power ahead of College World Series match
Summary

Georgia baseball prepares to face Oklahoma in the College World Series on June 15, 2026. The Bulldogs attribute their offensive success, with 175 home runs this season, to a team tradition called "Sour Power," involving sour candy from Buc-ee's. This trend began with players Scott Newman and Bryce Calloway on a road trip in April and has since become a motivational symbol for the team. With Oklahoma coming off a strong 9-0 win against Alabama, Georgia aims to advance to the semifinals of the tournament.
