Georgia Tech is looking to avoid being swept by in-state rival Georgia after falling 0-2 in the three-game weekend series.
The Dawgs dominated in Game 2, defeating the Jackets 12-0. It was the first shutout Tech had experienced on The Flats since 1964. UGA has utilized on Georgia Tech's mistakes and taken advantage of opportunities over the course of the series. Poor pitching performances and lack of plays has proven costly for the Yellow Jackets.
The weekend finale is being held at a neutral spot at Coolray Field [home of the Atlanta Braves’ Triple-A affiliate the Gwinnett Stripers].
