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.
