We're Headed To Athens

Georgia dispensed with the Yellow Jackets 18-6.

From the AJC:

Intimidated? Scared? Whatever word correctly describes the way Georgia Tech’s baseball team played tonight in Athens, it has to go down as one of the biggest flops in the team’s history and in the history of Tech’s rivalry against Georgia.

Tech couldn’t pitch, couldn’t field and, after the first inning, could barely hit against a patchwork pitching staff.

This from a team that won more than 40 games and made big-time comebacks against N.C. State (for a victory) and Miami (in a loss) at the ACC tournament. All of that will be but a footnote. When Tech people talk about the 2008 season (on the field, at least), the memories will be of the last two days.

The Dogs improved to 15-0 in post-season elimination games at Foley Field.
