It is win or go home for Georgia Tech the rest of the way in the Athens regional. The Yellow Jackets were shutout last night in their opening game of the NCAA
The Yellow Jackets were shutout last night in their opening game of the NCAA Baseball Tournament 9-0 vs UNC Wilmington and they are now on the brink of elimination. The Yellow Jackets face Army today in the first elimination game of the Athens regional.
While Georgia Tech is going to be the favorite coming into today's matchup, Army gave Georgia all they could handle in yesterday's matchup and with Georgia Tech's pitching woes, they can certainly win this game. Georgia Tech's pitching has not been good all season, but they did not score a run last night. It is going to be an interesting challenge for Danny Hall's team today in Athens. If the Yellow Jackets win today.
"On paper, Army's strengths are entirely in their rotation. Although they produce walks at a respectable rate, there are few other strengths in their offensive profile. They struggle to score runs and have very little power in their lineup, which is not a great combination with the 178th-best batting average in the country per Friday Starters. This is a matchup that Georgia Tech's rotation should be able to handle.
If the Black Knights have any chance of making noise in the regional, it will need to come from a rotation that limits runs. When looking at their SOS, one could argue that their runs-allowed numbers are inflated by facing weak lineups. Nevertheless, the starting combination of Matthew Ronnenbaum and Justin Lehman has performed well. Both starters posted sub-4.00 ERAs and respectable strikeout numbers. Beyond them, Andrew Berg is probably their best high-leverage reliever after posting a 2.
The Yellow Jackets have the offensive firepower to score against Army's rotation. Even with the massive questions around Georgia Tech's own arms, I am still skeptical of Army's bats being able to take advantage."
