The sun ****nes brighter, the birds sing sweeter every time Tech beats
Georgia!
Game note- Largest crowd (4,609) in Russ Chandler Stadium history.
From www.ramblinwreck.com:
ATLANTA - Luke Murton had four hits and drove in three runs to pace a
16-hit attack, and freshman Deck McGuire tossed 5-2/3 solid innings to
lift Georgia Tech past Georgia, 9-4, in college baseball Wednesday night
at Russ Chandler Stadium.
The first of three scheduled 2008 meetings pitting teams currently
ranked 10th (Georgia Tech, now 26-7) and 11th (Georgia, now 20-12) in
the nation was played before a stadium record crowd of 4,609.
Murton, a junior from McDonough, Ga., had a double and a home run among
his four hits. He singled home a run for Tech in the fifth and capped
the Jackets' scoring with a two-run homer in the eighth. Thomas Nichols
drove in a pair of runs with a double and triple, and Derek Dietrich
added three hits for the Jackets.
"It was a great atmosphere. Next to (NCAA) playoffs, it's probably the
best atmosphere I've ever played in here at Tech. It was an awesome
night for us," said Murton.
