Blackmon Paces No. 17 Tech Baseball to 7-6 Win Over Mercer
The red****rt junior homered and drove in two runs in the eighth inning
March 19, 2008
ATLANTA - Charlie Blackmon homered and drove in two runs in the bottom
of the eighth inning to help No. 17 Georgia Tech (15-4) to a 7-6 victory
over Mercer (9-10) Wednesday night at Russ Chandler Stadium.
Blackmon went 2-for-5 with four RBI to lead the Yellow Jacket offense
while Jeff Rowland added two hits on the night.
Brad Rulon (3-0) picked up the win despite giving up the lead in the
eighth inning. The senior yielded two runs on a two-out triple by John
Dortch, but received the win after Blackmon hit a two-out single to
plate Patrick Long and Chase Burnette in the bottom of the frame.
Chris Hicks earned his team-leading sixth save of the season by striking
out John Moreland and forcing Tyler McCarty to hit into a double play to
end the game.
Taylor Wood and Andrew Robinson both worked scoreless innings in relief
of Yellow Jacket starter Brandon ***pton, who held Mercer to four runs
on nine hits in five innings.
Back-to-back run-scoring singles from Mike Armstrong and Moreland staked
the Bears to a 2-0 lead with two outs in the top
of the first inning, but the Jackets responded with a run in the bottom
of the second and two more in the third inning to go
ahead 3-2. Derek Dietrich worked a leadoff walk of Mercer starting
pitcher David Harden in the second inning and came
around to score on a double by Thomas Nichols. After Jay Dantzler was
issued a one-out walk in the third inning,
Blackmon pulled the second pitch he saw over the right field fence to
give Tech the one-run lead.
