Oklahoma
LEXINGTON, Ky. (05/06/2026) — After falling into an early five-run hole, the Georgia Bulldogs unleashed a torrent of offense, scoring 10 unanswered runs to stun the Oklahoma Sooners 10-5 on Wednesday night at John Cropp Stadium.
Emily Digby delivered the game-tying blow and finished with four RBI, while pitcher Adele Harrison silenced the Sooners' bats in a masterful relief appearance to secure a dramatic comeback victory.
How It Happened
Oklahoma appeared poised for a runaway win, jumping on Georgia's pitching from the opening frame. The Sooners built a formidable 4-0 lead in the first inning, starting with an RBI double from Ella Parker. Gabbie Garcia followed with a two-run double to right-center, and a subsequent fielder's choice brought home another run before the Bulldogs could record three outs.
Oklahoma extended its advantage in the second inning when Kai Minor launched a solo home run to left-center, pushing the score to 5-0. For three innings, the Sooners' lead looked insurmountable as Georgia's offense struggled to find its footing.
The game's entire narrative shifted in the top of the fourth. Jaydyn Goodwin ignited the rally with a solo home run to center field, putting Georgia on the board. Moments later, Gabi Novickas crushed another solo shot to left, cutting the deficit to 5-2 and chasing Oklahoma's starting pitching. The rally reached its apex when Emily Digby stepped to the plate with two runners on and blasted a three-run home run to center, tying the game at 5-5 in a stunning display of power.
With the game reset, Georgia pitcher Adele Harrison took control. Entering in the first inning, she settled in to dominate the potent Oklahoma lineup, allowing the Bulldogs' offense to go to work. In the sixth inning, Georgia broke the tie for good. Kiersten Roose singled to center for an RBI, and an ensuing fielding error by Oklahoma's catcher allowed a second run to score, giving Georgia a 7-5 lead. Goodwin capped the inning with an RBI double, stretching the advantage to 8-5.
Georgia added two insurance runs in the seventh inning. An RBI single from Miller and a sacrifice fly from Digby provided the final margin, completing the 10-5 comeback.
Turning Point
The top of the fourth inning was the undeniable turning point. Trailing 5-0, Georgia's offense exploded for five runs on three home runs in a single frame. The back-to-back homers from Goodwin and Novickas cracked the door open, but Digby's three-run shot blew it off the hinges, erasing the entire deficit and seizing all momentum for the Bulldogs. Oklahoma's pitching staff, which had been in control, was left reeling and never recovered.
Stars of the Game
Emily Digby, Georgia: The designated player was the offensive catalyst, going 1-for-2 with a game-tying, three-run home run and a sacrifice fly to total a game-high 4 RBI.
Adele Harrison, Georgia: The relief pitcher was the unsung hero. After a rocky first inning for the Bulldogs, Harrison entered and completely shut down the Sooners. Over 6.2 masterful innings, she allowed just one run on three hits while striking out seven, giving her team the chance to mount its historic comeback.
Jaydyn Goodwin, Georgia: Goodwin was a consistent threat, finishing 2-for-4 with two runs, a solo home run that started the rally, and an RBI double that added a crucial insurance run.
What It Means
For the Georgia Bulldogs, this is a signature non-conference victory that showcases the team's resilience and explosive offensive capability. Erasing a 5-0 deficit against a perennial powerhouse like Oklahoma demonstrates a level of grit that will serve them well heading into the postseason. The win reinforces their status as a legitimate contender on the national stage.
For the Oklahoma Sooners, the loss is a frustrating one where an early, commanding lead slipped away. The inability of multiple pitchers to halt Georgia's momentum in the middle innings will be a point of concern. Despite a strong offensive start, highlighted by Kai Minor's 3-for-4 day, the Sooners were held scoreless over the final five frames, a rare offensive drought for the program.
