It's all about winning conference games, and beating the teams you
should...Tech did neither last night and let a lead and a win slip away
in the bottom of the 8th.
Maybe we can still win the series.....
Ugly story from www.ramblinwreck.com:
Maryland Scores Four in the Eighth for 7-5 Win Over Tech
Luke Murton doubles and hit his seventh home run of the season in the
loss
April 18, 2008
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - A two-run double by A.J. Casario highlighted a
four-run eighth inning for Maryland (23-17, 6-13 ACC) as the Terrapins
knocked off No. 21 Georgia Tech (27-11, 9-10 ACC), 7-5, Friday night at
****pley Field.
Back-to-back run-scoring singles from Will Greenberg and Nick Jowers
tied the game at 5-5 in the eighth inning before Casario plated the two
Terrapins with an opposite-field double to put Maryland up by two.
Dan Gentzler (1-0) faced two Yellow Jackets - one to end the eighth and
the other to begin the ninth - and struck out both batters to earn his
first win of the season before Brett Tidball closed out the game by
forcing a pair of fly outs to pick up his second save.
The Jackets had taken the lead in the top of the eighth inning on a
two-run home run by Brad Feltes, his ninth of the season. The Yellow
Jacket senior also drove in Tech's first run of the game with a
sacrifice fly in the fourth inning to pull Tech to within 3-1 after
Maryland scored three runs in the second inning off Tech starter David
Duncan. Thomas Nichols followed Feltes' sacrifice fly with a run-scoring
double to pull within one run of the Terrapins before Maryland starter
Scott Swinson forced Chris House to ground out to end the threat.
