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.

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.
The Georgia Public Service Commission this week approved a plan expected to reduce utility bills for Georgia Power customers by a few dollars a month.
The commission said the change will generate about $285 million in total annual savings for Georgia Power customers, or roughly $50 per year — about $4.04 per month — for the average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month.
The Georgia PSC voted Thursday to lower overall rates as part of the approved plan.
Georgia Power Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Tyler Cook said the decision will provide “real savings for Georgia families and businesses as the heat of summer begins and energy use increases.”
“At Georgia Power, our teams work every day to run our business efficiently and keep reliable and affordable energy flowing to our customers,” Cook said.
Cook said the outcome followed months of work between Georgia Power and PSC staff, including reviews, public hearings and input from residents and intervenors.
The approved plan is tied to a stipulated agreement reached earlier this month involving two cases filed with the PSC in February, the Fuel Cost Recovery case and the Storm Cost Recovery case. Those cases addressed recovering fuel costs used to generate electricity and expenses tied to restoring power after storms.
Georgia Power said its rates remain, on average, about 15% below the national average and that it is still on track to provide additional annual savings of about $102 per year for typical residential customers beginning in 2029.
ATLANTA – The Georgia Public Service Commission approved a stipulated agreement on Thursday to lower utility rates for Georgia Power customers starting June 1.
The regulatory body voted to pass the deal without changes, establishing how the utility can bill for fuel costs and storm damage restoration expenses.
State regulators approve rate cuts
What we know:
The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) voted 3-2 to reject several utility cost amendments before ultimately passing the overall deal. Under the approved agreement, a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month will see monthly bills decrease by roughly $4.03 to $4.04. Total annual savings across all 2.8 million Georgia Power customers are projected to reach approximately $285 million.
The deal reduces how much money the utility can recover from its customer base for storm expenses by nearly 60%, dropping the revenue requirement from $270 million down to $109 million. The agreement also extends the amortization of storm recovery costs, largely tied to Hurricane Helene in 2024, to 67 months, caps natural gas advance purchases at 20% over a 36-month window, and cuts $13 million from the company’s original fuel recovery estimates.
Accountability questions remain unresolved
What we don’t know:
While the PSC agreed to launch a separate investigation into how fuel costs are allocated, officials have not yet confirmed how much large industrial operations will be forced to pay in future rate cases. Consumer advocacy groups argue that massive data center companies are driving up fuel costs for everyday ratepayers without paying for the infrastructure upgrades they require. Critics note that it remains unclear if a future utility asset structure will successfully shift financial burdens away from residential homes.
