Bulldogs Defeated by Sharks, 8-4
The 2026 season began for the Georgia Bulldogs with a loss to the New York Sharks at Eddie Matthews Stadium. The final score was 8-4. New York right fielder Matt Wallner had a fine performance.

New York used a well-timed hit by Cody Bellinger to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Sharks ahead, 5-4. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"Good to get a win," said Bellinger, "but it's a long season."
