Bulldogs Blank Georgia Tech, 8-0
February 28, 2023 | Softball
ATLANTA – The 18th-ranked Georgia softball team earned an 8-0 victory in six innings over rival Georgia Tech Tuesday evening at Mewborn Field.
Â
Georgia climbs to 13-4 on the season and have tied the program record of six-straight shutout victories, tying the mark most recently achieved in 2018.
Â
Graduate Shelby Walters (6-1) pitched the complete-game shutout, allowing four hits. She was perfect the first time through the Georgia Tech order. She concluded the game with four strikeouts.
Â
The offense was led by two-hit performances from junior Sydney Chambley and sophomore Lyndi Rae Davis. Chambley joined freshman Marisa Miller driving in two runs apiece. Georgia totaled eight hits in the game.
Â
The Bulldogs put up five runs in the second to take an early lead in the midweek matchup. The inning began with a single from Davis and a walks to Sydney Kuma and Jaiden Fields to load the bases. Miller drove the first pitch she saw into the left-center cap to plate two and put Georgia on the board, 2-0. Ellie Armistead grounded out to second to plate Fields. With two in scoring position, Chambley doubled to right, plating both runs to widen the advantage to 5-0 for the Dogs.
Â
With runners on the corners, a wild pitch proved costly, allowing Dallis Goodnight to score and Chambley to pull up at third. Chambley immediately scored on a groundout off the bat of Sara Mosley to lengthen Georgia's lead to 7-0 in the fourth inning.
Â
Freshman Jaydyn Goodwin, who led off the sixth with a pinch hit walk and worked her way around to third, tagged up and scored on a sac fly to right off the bat of Jayda Kearney to bring the lead to 8-0.
Â
Georgia Tech (8-8) put runners in scoring position in the bottom of the sixth, but Walters wiggled out of the game to finish the run-rule victory.
Â
Georgia returns to Jack Turner Stadium to host the Bulldog Classic. The Bulldogs welcome Ball State, Stetson, and Samford in the 10-game round robin tournament beginning Friday.
