Georgia baseball blanks Georgia Tech 12-0, wins season series

Tech needed a miracle entering the ninth, but the away team scored eight runs in the inning’s top half to put the game away for good.

Who runs this state?

In the past three months, the Georgia Bulldogs have clinched victories over the in-state Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in football, men’s basketball, and baseball.

Following last night’s dramatic victory at Foley Field in Athens, the Dawgs ensured that the next contest, held on Tech’s campus, would be less of a nail-biter for Georgia baseball fans.

Scott Stricklin’s fourth-ranked Bulldogs built an early 4-0 lead across the first five innings. Tech already needed a miracle entering the ninth, but the away team scored eight runs in the inning’s top half to put the game away for good.

The Bulldogs improve to 10-1 on the season.

As part of a neutral series between in-state foes, the three-game stand features one game at Georgia’s Foley Field, today’s game at Grant Field in Atlanta, and a third contest at Coolray Field, the home of Atlanta Braves AAA affiliate Gwinnett Stripers.
