Overachieving Jackets nearing regional crown
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
OK, be honest. Did you think at the start of the season this could be a regional champion Georgia Tech baseball team?
It hasn’t happened yet, but Tech is 2-0 in the Athens Regional and in commanding position to earn what most likely would be a super regional trip to N.C. State. Not only do the Jackets need just one more victory, with two chances to earn it, but they’ll have two of their top four starting pitchers (Eddie Burns and Zach Von Tersch) available to go against Georgia or Lipscomb’s fourth and fifth starters.
Danny Hall and his team would like nothing better than for Georgia and Lipscomb to play a high-scoring elimination game Sunday afternoon to use up even more of their pitching. Already, Georgia had to use Joshua Fields for an inning today.
