Championship for first time
HOOVER, Ala. (AP) --- Jack Arcamone drove in four runs with a home run and a
single and Georgia won its first SEC Baseball Championship, defeating Arkansas
11-1 in seven innings on Sunday.
The start of the game was delayed for 2 hours, 45 minutes due to heavy rain but
Georgia wasted no time in taking the lead. The Bulldogs scored five runs in the
bottom of the first inning, highlighted by back-to-back one-out doubles by
Rylan Lujo and Brennan Hudson and a two-run home run from Arcamone.
Top-seeded Georgia led 8-0 through five innings and after Arkansas scored in
the sixth Arcamone's two-run single capped a three-run bottom of the inning for
the Bulldogs.
No. 7 seed Arkansas got its only run on Maika Niu's sixth-inning home run.
Georgia starter Paul Farley (8-1) allowed six hits in four scoreless innings.
The Razorbacks' Tate McGuire (1-1) allowed five runs in one full inning.
Both teams won their semifinals after also enduring long delays on Saturday.
