We’re live at Georgia-Georgia Tech baseball
First, would like to say it’s glad to see that Chance Veazey is in Georgia’s dugout here at Russ Chandler Stadium. For those who don’t know, he was paralyzed from the waist down in a scooter accident on campus in October.
Tech’s baseball team raised money to help with medical expenses at a football game this season.
Second, it’s a beautiful night at the ballyard.
We’ve got two teams having much different seasons. The Yellow Jackets are 13-1 this season, while the Bulldogs are 8-8. Georgia’s projected infield has yet to start a game together. Subsequently, the starting pitching hasn’t been as strong.
The Yellow Jackets haven’t had many issues. The starting pitching has been strong and some questions marks coming into the season on offense are tagging the ball.
Now, onto the lineups.
For Georgia
12 CF Zach Cone .381
2 LF Johnathan Taylor .333
16 RF Peter Verdin .299
43 1B Robert Shipman .458
26 C Christian Glisson .400
25 3B Colby May .222
10 DH Zach Taylor .250
5 2B Todd Hankins .291
3 SS Levi Hyams .167
And pitching for the Dawgs will be lefty Blake Dieterich, who is 0-1 with a 6.14 ERA
Georgia Tech
4 CF Jeff Rowland .250
9 2B Jacob Esch .392
21 1B Tony Plagman .382

16 3B Matt Skole
32 SS Derek Dietrich .294
20 RF Chase Burnette .429
22 LF Jay Dantzler .293
10 DH Thomas Nichols .464
And pitching for the Yellow Jackes is righty Mark Pope, who 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA.

Doug – On a more important note than a baseball game – is there any fund raising going on at the stadium tonight for Chance Veazy?

GT30,
GA Tech has 2 National Titles. Georgia has 1 National Title.
GT: 1917, 1928.
UGA: 1980.
GA Tech still has more, but the AP used to decide the actual National Champion before the BcS. The AP declared UGA a winner in 1980 and GT in 1917 and 1928.

There was also that championship that was awarded by the COACHES in 1990.

And we also don’t brake for them (OK sometimes we accelerate and swerve to hit’em, too.)

1-2-3 for Tech in the sixth. The Jackets haven’t had a man on base since the fourth, and haven’t had a hit since Leonida’s single led off the third.

Need to make a couple of corrections, Shipman singled in the sixth and May struck out to end the inning.
Doug Roberson

And let me correct that. I screwed up my book: Verdin singled, hot Shipman. My apologies.

OK, we have a tie game. Cone just hit another triple to score Hankins and Hyams.
Pope out, Davies in.

Paul in RDU: It’s my understanding that a group of GT players hit up tailgaters this afternoon before the game and collected about $2000 for Chance. That’s a classy act – kudos to those young men.
Steve

Ha ha ha. Tech fans make me laugh. Especially “Stingem.” If Tech was winning this game 11-2 there would be a ton of talking on here. You losers are quiet because you are losing, AGAIN, to UGA. Enjoy the loss to Oklahoma State with the most “talented” team in the Atlantic Crap Conference. Pathetic.

By “hit up” I meant, of course, that they asked for donations (and not extortion or the like).

Tech puts runners on first and second with one out in its half of the seventh.

Tie game on a Leonida single up the middle. Might have been a play at the plate but the throw was poor.
Steve

Well Stan, this may be breaking news to you, but THE University of Georgia is not a basketball school, just like Duke is not a football school. Being the nerd that you are, I would think you would know that. UGA will never be much in basketball, but will continue to beat Tech, which is very funny. Nerd University is a basketball school, that is just not good at basketball. Football you say? Yes, Tech is decent once every twenty years or so. Check the records loser. Quit being jealous.

wow….your argument is to genious for us mortals…it doesn’t matter that we lost to you in the regular basketball season…we are playing in the tourney and you are not….are you call me a moron….you want to make this personal? Just because your mother is selling crusty musty hootchie on Craigslist…don’t get mad at me…I am sure you are proud of your mother’s entrepreneurial ventures
