Georgia Bats Go Quiet as Tech Wins 7-0
March 05, 2022 | Baseball
ATHENS-Ga.-- The 14th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs fell to the 19th-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 7-0 Saturday afternoon at Foley Field to a crowd of 3,547.
"Our approach wasn't very good. Their pitchers threw the ball well," said Georgia's Ike Cousins head baseball coach Scott Stricklin. "We got to get better. There's no question about it. We got to show some toughness and bounce back tomorrow."
Georgia sophomore starter Liam Sullivan and Tech starter Zach Maxwell both struggled with command early in the game, but neither offense could push a run across in the first two innings.
The Bulldogs (8-2) had the bases loaded in the second and third innings but failed to score after senior Cole Tate and sophomore Garrett Spikes flew out and grounded out, respectively.
Sullivan was relieved with two outs in the third inning by junior Michael Polk after allowing three hits, three walks, two runs and a strikeout. Polk would strand runners on second and third after striking out Tech outfielder Stephen Reid. After getting out of another jam in the third inning, Tech's Maxwell was relieved in the fourth inning by freshman Cody Carwile after allowing two hits, six walks and zero runs with seven strikeouts. After pitching a scoreless fourth inning, Polk was relieved by sophomore Jaden Woods. Polk did not allow a hit or walk and fanned two Yellow Jacket hitters.
The Bulldog bats remained quiet for the remainder of the game, having only three baserunners reach after the third inning. The Yellow Jackets (10-1) extended their lead in the seventh inning after a home run to left-center field by sophomore Tim Borden II off of Woods. First baseman Andrew Jenkins hit a sacrifice fly later in the inning to push the lead to 4-0.
Freshman Coleman Willis relieved Woods in the eighth inning and would pitch the final two innings for the Bulldogs. Woods finished the game having allowed five hits, one walk, two runs and two strikeouts. After an almost flawless eighth inning from Willis, Georgia Tech blew the game open in the top of the ninth due to four walks, a throwing error from third baseman Josh McAllister and a two-run single to center field from sophomore third baseman Drew Compton.
Willis finished the game allowing three runs (one earned), one hit, three walks and a pair of strikeouts. Sullivan (1-1) was tabbed with the loss for the Bulldogs, and Carwile (1-0) picked up the win for the Yellow Jackets while Aeden Finateri picked up a three-inning save in the combined four-hitter.
Georgia and Georgia Tech conclude the regular season series Sunday at 2 p.m. ET at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville, Ga., to benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The game is billed as the 19th annual Spring Baseball Classic for Kids.
