Duncan Pitches No. 17 Tech Baseball Past Boston College in Series Opener
The Jackets earned a win in the first game of the doubleheader
March 29, 2008
ATLANTA - David Duncan allowed just one hit through the first six
innings to lead No. 17 Georgia Tech (20-5, 6-4 ACC) to a 5-2 win over
Boston College (11-12, 2-8 ACC) in the series opener and first game of a
doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Commander Shea Field.
Duncan (4-0) faced the minimum through the first 2.2 innings and, after
allowing a single with two outs in the bottom of the second, retired
11-straight before giving up a solo home run to Tony Sanchez to break up
the shutout. The 6-8 lefty worked a season-long eight innings, giving up
two runs on four hits while striking out a season-high 10 batters.
Brad Rulon tossed the ninth inning and earned his second save of the
season. After Rulon hit the first batter he faced, Eric Campbell dropped
a single just out second baseman Thomas Nichols' reach to put runners on
first and second. Rulon worked out of the jam by forcing a pair of
flyouts before striking out pinch hitter John Spatola to end the game.
Georgia Tech took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second when Jason Haniger
was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Jeff Rowland hit a
sacrifice fly to plate Chris House. A solo home run by Derek Dietrich in
the top of the third inning staked the Yellow Jackets to a 3-0 lead and
an RBI single by Charlie Blackmon pushed the score to 4-0 in the fifth.
