THE FLATS – Georgia Tech softball (5-10) fell to No. 19 Georgia 11-0 on Sunday. The Yellow Jackets threatened to get on the board in the fourth with a pair of singles that landed runners on the corners, but were unable to drive a run home.
The Bulldogs got going early, striking in the top of the first with a run on a wild pitch followed by a two-run homerun. After a couple of quiet innings, Georgia exploded in the fourth with six more runs. A three-RBI triple started off the inning’s scoring before a sacrifice fly and two-RBI single put the Bulldogs up 9-0. Georgia knocked two more solo shots in the top of the fifth to reach the final tally for the 11-0 win.
Game Notes
- Senior first baseman Tricia Awald and senior outfielder Crosby Huckabay were the two Jackets that landed in the hit column.
- Georgia Tech used four arms through the contest in senior right hander Morgan Bruce (starter), senior lefty Madison McPherson, fellow senior lefty Naomi Dickerson and junior right hander Lexi Ray.
