After the game, Volchko credited the Georgia coaching staff with having him ready to pitch against a tough Texas offense.
“We knew who we were going to attack with what, how we were going to flip in between times through the order,” Volchko said. “There was a lot of preparation. There was a lot of comfort in that.
“I felt like when I got out there, things slowed down a little bit, as opposed to speed up. So honestly, just a testament to our preparation. They do an unbelievable job of making sure that we’re prepared to go out and compete.”
Georgia and Oklahoma will face off at 1 p.m. ET on Monday night.
