Overview
- During the sixth inning on Sunday, Tre Phelps hit a two-run home run that gave Georgia the lead and was then thrown out for celebratory words and hand gestures toward the Liberty area while rounding first base.
- Georgia coach Wes Johnson was ejected after he came onto the field to argue the plate umpire’s decision.
- The Bulldogs completed a 6-1 win that sent them to the super regional, with Michael O’Shaughnessy replacing Phelps and later hitting a home run as part of the rally.
- Per tournament protocol reported by multiple outlets, Phelps is set to miss Georgia’s next game unless the ejection is overturned, a loss that could force lineup and strategy changes for a player who finished the season with 19 homers and first-team All-SEC honors.
- The incident, which left some uncertainty about whether Phelps was addressing opponents or fans, came on the same day another star, Arizona State’s Landon Hairston, was ejected, highlighting strict on-field enforcement during regional play.
