2 Down, 1 To Go

The crane will not help you in baseball.

Well, the Jackets won 2 of the 3 games they need to win to win the regional today. One more game against Southern Miss tomorrow night to decide who moves on. This will be the third game against the Golden Eagles in as many days. First, though...

Tech had to beat Elon this afternoon to play Southern Miss, and did so 8-4. Relief pitcher, Mark Pope, had a great game, striking out a career-high 7 batters and allowing only 1 run and 4 base runners in the last 5 innings.

The Jackets then had to turn around and play Southern Miss again. This time, there weren't 5 errors to deal with, and the Jackets won 10-3.

The regional championship game is Monday night at 7.

Let's go Jackets!
