Longhorns set to play No. 7 Alabama in elimination game at 1 p.m. Monday

OMAHA, Neb. — No. 6 Texas dropped a 7-1 result to No. 3 Georgia in its opening game of the Men's College World Series at Charles Schwab Field on Saturday evening.

Dylan Volantis (10-2) limited one of the nation's top offenses to just two earned runs in 6 1/3 innings, but defensive miscues helped the Bulldogs (52-12) punch their spot into the winners' bracket against Oklahoma at 6 p.m. Monday.

Meanwhile, the Longhorns (45-14) will face No. 7 Alabama in an elimination game at 1 p.m. earlier in the day.

After Georgia pushed across four runs — two earned — in the first, Volantis responded by retiring 16 of the next 18 batters.

The 6-foot-6, 220-pound left-hander held Georgia without a hit from the second into the seventh, scattering four knocks across a career-high 111 pitches. Volantis finished with nine strikeouts.

His counterpart Joey Volchko (11-2) tossed his first career complete game, yielding one unearned run. Volchko punched out a career-high 15 batters and surrendered just four hits.

Adrian Rodriguez and Ethan Mendoza both tallied two hits apiece in the defeat.

The Bulldogs' offense was highlighted by Rylan Lujo. Lujo delivered a first-inning two-run homer and an RBI double in the seventh to back Volchko.

Two batters after Lujo's second knock, Kenny Ishikawa mounted a two-run single to put the game out of reach.

Texas is now 88-66 (.571) all-time in Men's College World Series contests.
