Good News for Georgia and Georgia Tech baseball fans.  I know Bulldog fans you are saying, why is it good news when the Dawgs lost yesterday? well…

Georgia is 11-0 in the postseason in elimination games at Foley Field.  Obviously that stat has to end sometime, but hopefully not today as they take on Louisville at 3:00 pm.  Pitching for the Bulldogs is Trevor Holder.  The 2nd-team All-SEC pitcher hasn’t pitched in 2 weeks since injuring his shoulder against Alabama.  The junior right-hander is 2-0 with a 0.87 in 10 1/3 career NCAA postseason innings.

Georgia Tech is looking a lot better right now as they defeated those Cardinals mentioned above.  Charlie Blackmon was one of the stars yesterday.  As he went 3-4 with 2 rbi and a run scored.  He also stole 2 more bases to increase his season total to 25.

The Yellow Jackets have now won 15 regional game ones.  8 of those previous 14 games they went on to win the region.  An 8-6 record doesn’t look super, but those 8 wins have all happened in their last 9 chances.  The first 5 times they have won game one of a regional they ended up not winning the region.
