Back to Athens
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A few thoughts on Georgia Tech’s regional draw:
The matchup with the No. 1 seed could be a lot worse. After all, Tech did beat Georgia two out of three this season. Then again, that was against midweek pitching, not weekend pitching.
If you’re a believer in momentum, Georgia has to have among the worst of all the No. 1 seeds, having exited the SEC tournament 0-2 after losing its final SEC series against Alabama.
Tech might never get to play Georgia. Louisville’s ace is an excellent left-handed pitcher, and the Cardinals are hot. Though they were the fourth seed in the Big East tournament, they might be one of the stronger No. 3 seeds out there in the NCAA tournament, at least with their game-one pitcher. The numbers on Justin Marks: 9-1, 2.21 ERA, 85.2 IP, 66 hits, 32 runs, 21 earned runs, 35 walks, 85 strikeouts.
