Share

Box Score (.pdf)

ATHENS, Ga. – For the first time since 1997, 10th-ranked Georgia Tech baseball shut out No. 5 Georgia, 7-0, at Foley Field to clinch the second-straight series in Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate on Saturday afternoon.

The Yellow Jackets (10-1) got a powerful start from RHP Zach Maxwell, who allowed just two hits and punched out seven in the first three innings. Freshman LHP Cody Carwile (1-0) then came in for a career-long three innings of no-hit ball before freshman RHP Aeden Finateri earned his first save of his career, going 3.0 of two-hit, five strikeout work to close.

At the plate, the bats only accounted for two runs in the first six innings, both on two-out singles in the top of the third (Tres Gonzalez and Drew Compton). The top of the seventh then features Tim Borden II going yard for the second time in as many days before an Andrew Jenkins sac fly made it 4-0. Georgia Tech then piled on insurance runs in the ninth with another Compton single (this time driving in two runs) and a Borden RBI walk.

Chandler Simpson once again provided the spark at the top of the lineup, finishing 3-for-4 on the day, while Gonzalez went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Compton went 2-for-4 with three RBI.

The Bulldogs (8-2) were held to just three hits at the plate. LHP Liam Sullivan (1-1) received the loss, surrendering two runs on three hits in 2.2 innings of work.

Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate finishes up in the 19th annual Spring Game for the Kids at Coolray Field, home of the Gwinnett Stripers. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. and will be broadcast live on ACC Network Extra, WREK 91.1 FM and 680 the Fan.
