Baseball Drops Series Finale to Georgia, 3-2
McGuire suffers first loss of season despite six solid innings
May 13, 2008
ATLANTA - Nick Montgomery and three relievers combined to scatter five
hits, while Ryan Peisel homered to lift Georgia past Georgia Tech, 3-2,
in the regular-season series finale between the two rivals Tuesday night
at Turner Field.
The sixth Spring Baseball Classic for Kids, pitting the two teams in one
of their regular season meetings, drew 22,599 fans, the second highest
attendance in the history of the event.
The win helped Georgia (34-17-1) avoid a regular-season sweep at the
hands of Tech (36-16). The Jackets had defeated the Bulldogs 9-4 in
Atlanta on April 9 and 11-1 in Athens last Wednesday.
Deck McGuire (8-1), a freshman bidding to earn his third win this season
against Georgia, instead suffered his first loss of the season. He
struggled early but managed to last six innings, scattering 10 hits and
while allowing three runs. He walked three and fanned six, six days
after a 9-strikeout, 0-walk performance in his win in Athens, and left
the game trailing 3-2.
His counterpart, Montgomery (2-1), allowed just two hits, a walk and a
run through five innings. The senior from Marietta, Ga., struck out
three and left with his team ahead 3-1. He had excellent help from the
Bulldogs' bullpen, which scattered four hits and allowed just one
unearned run over the final four frames.
