Diamond Dogs to take on Tech at SunTrust

by Christopher Lakos, UGA Sports Communication — The Georgia Bulldog baseball team takes aim at a series sweep of rival Georgia Tech Tuesday at SunTrust Park in the 15th annual Spring Baseball Classic For Kids to benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

The Bulldogs (19-29) are riding high after winning a road series over then fourth-ranked Kentucky this past weekend, its first over a top five opponent on the road since 2006 (#3 Miss. State 2-1). The Bulldogs begin this week by playing Tech (23-21). Georgia will be going for a three-game sweep in this year's series. The Bulldogs beat Tech 5-1 in Athens (April 11) and then registered a 7-5 victory at Tech (April 25). Georgia will have another staff night Tuesday starting with freshman RHP Tony Locey (2-3, 7.02 ERA).

In records dating back to 1950, Georgia leads the series with Tech 120-102. For the past 14 years, Georgia and Tech squared off at Turner Field to benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and the game annually drew more than 19,000 fans and raised more than $200,000. Georgia went 9-5 in those games against Tech. This will be Georgia’s second game at SunTrust Park after playing in the first contest open to the public on April 8. The Bulldogs lost 6-1 to Missouri, and the game attracted 33,025, which marked the second largest crowd ever to attend a college baseball game. Locey pitched one scoreless inning in that game versus the Tigers.
