THE FLATS – A late charge by the Georgia Tech baseball hitters wouldn’t be enough as its miscues were too much to overcome in the 9-6 setback to Eastern Kentucky on Saturday afternoon at Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium.
The Yellow Jackets (1-1) made two uncharacteristic errors and walked 11 batters in the tough outing, while the Colonels (1-1) used extended innings to their advantage to score and drive up pitch counts.
