The Tech offense outscored State 32-6 in the three games. With the three losses, State drops to 10-10 (1-5 in the ACC), while the Jackets move to 17-4(6-0 in ACC).
Friday, Georgia Tech 9 N.C. State 2
Junior starting pitcher Cory Mazzoni kept the Wolfpack in the game, giving up just three runs in 5 1/3 innings, but the offense couldn’t muster up enough offense, just scoring two runs in the game. The Yellow Jackets got on the board first scoring in the first inning, but State managed to tie the game up in the top of the sixth inning. However, the bullpen imploded late in the game as it gave up six runs over the final 2 2/3 innings.
Saturday, Georgia Tech 12 N.C. State 0
Yellow Jacket pitcher Jed Bradley shut down and shut out the Wolfpack offense, giving up just five hits over seven innings, while the Jacket offense gave him more than enough run support. Tech scored six runs in the third inning and three in the forth, chasing sophomore starting pitcher Danny Healey (1-2) from the game after just 3 2/3 innings. Junior third baseman Andrew Ciencin lead the way for State offensively, going 1-3 with a double.
