Sun Belt’s Georgia State, Arkansas State nab top 10 upsets on Tuesday
The Sun Belt Conference threw a party on Tuesday, gifting college baseball with two top 10 upsets against in-state opponents, and it wasn’t from the hands of typical culprits like No. 9 Coastal Carolina or No. 12 Southern Miss.
The stars of the show were Arkansas State and Georgia State.
Check out the surprising results during the second midweek slate of the season.
Arkansas State upsets No. 6 Arkansas for the first time ever
Arkansas State etched Tuesday’s date into program history with a historic win, and it didn’t need to leave the state.
The Red Wolves pummeled No. 6 Arkansas, 12-4, just four hours West of their home turf. It marks Arkansas State’s first-ever win over the Razorbacks.
They didn’t waste time jumping on their in-state foe, plating six runs in the second inning to lead 6-2 entering the third. They hit two out of Baum-Walker Stadium, the second a grand slam by center fielder Ashton Quiller to left center.

Although still early in the contest, Quiller’s homer foreshadowed how the contest would play out.
The Red Wolves got done at the plate and in the field, turning double plays and scoring at least a run in four of the next seven innings, whereas Arkansas scored twice. Every Arkansas State player reached base at least once by the final out, five had one or more RBIs, and four hit home runs.
Left fielder Cros Jumper took right-handers Peyton Lee and Cooper Dossett deep.
Homer No. ✌️ today for Cross

Georgia State stuns No. 4 Georgia Tech for historic win
Georgia State cleaned off its record books on Tuesday as well, beating No. 4 Georgia Tech on the road, 9-4, to capture one of the biggest wins in school history.
Defined by a late-game surge, the term pride and excitement might not be enough to describe the Panthers’ emotions after beating a university located less than 10 minutes away.
Down 2-0 in just the first inning, the comeback began in the fifth.
GSU’s left fielder, Adam Haber, started the frame with a double and scored two at-bats later thanks to designated hitter Hunter Carlson’s RBI single to left field. Two batters later, Carlson was high-fiving catcher Lucas Grantham at home plate following his two-run blast.

4-2 ball game.
Georgia State’s bats didn’t cool off until the eighth inning, scoring three in the eighth and two more in the seventh to take a 9-2 lead. Each player finished the game with at least one hit.
The Yellow JJackets’consecutive one run innings in the seventh and eighth weren’t enough to change the tide, losing their first game of the season.
Out of nine contests this season, it’s just the second time they’ve scored less than 10 runs. They will welcome Northwestern this weekend for a three-game series.
GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.
The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”
If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.
Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”
According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.
SR 4EX Text
“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”
The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.
That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.

The Oklahoma Sooners left no doubt in their 11-4 win over the Georgia Bulldogs to advance to the College World Series finals. It is OU’s second trip to the finals since 2022 but this one feels far more improbable.
A bubble team toward the end of the regular season and down 8-2 in an elimination game against Georgia Tech, Oklahoma has defied the odds and powered its way to the finals in Omaha. On Wednesday night, the Sooners hit five home runs against a Bulldogs team that led the nation in home runs per game this season.
Jason Walk got the home run party started, and Dasan Harris hit a pair of two-run bombs to help Oklahoma separate from one of the best teams in college baseball.
From the mound, freshman Nick Wesloski put together a strong performance for the Sooners, allowing just one earned run in 5.2 innings pitched. L.J. Mercurius worked 3.1 and allowed just one earned run against the vaunted Georgia offense.
Everything is clicking for Oklahoma heading into the finals, which begins on Saturday. They’ll face a good North Carolina Tar Heels for all the marbles. But before we get to the championship series, here’s a look at how social media reacted to the Sooners win over Georgia.
