A little late seeing this(recruit, recently hitting the gun over 90 mph):

 

[GTJT622]

Friday opener tonight moved up an hour to a 6pm start, FWIW.

 

[GTJT622]

Virginia has also altered its weekend schedule hosting Wake to now a DH on Friday and no game Sunday due to pending snow in first official day of Spring.

 

[Buzzforlife]

Happy Spring, should the tiny baseballs come your way!
So what do I look for at the game tonight, rain balls, oh hail?

Oh, Lacrosse balls!

 

[GTJT622]

JJ's put up 5 in the btm of the 1st. Gold has seen the minimum thru 2 innings. Hopefully, the JJ's get more.

 

[GTJT622]

JJ's up 7-0 in the bottom of the 3rd. Good to go ahead and get that early touchdown lead. Now, we need Roof and crew to keep the Buzzards off the board...or at least hold 'em to a field goal.

 

[GTJT622]

CPJ's offense has to settle for a field goal in the 4th. Now up 10-0. CPJ seems OK as he shares a quick smile though Bud Foster's defense stopped his offense from getting in the endzone...

 

[GTJT622]

Saturday's game has been moved back 2 hours to 6pm start from original scheduled 4pm.

 

[GTJT622]

Solid 14-4 win for the Good Guys. Tech scored in 7 of the 8 innings we batted.

Let's get another one tomorrow night.

[GTJT622]

Damn. Digging a hole early. Better hope the bats show up again. Crap!!!

 

[GTJT622]

Way to answer, Jackets!!!!!!

Now, let's go take this thing.

 

[GTJT622]

Jackets up 7-3 heading to the 6th. We got the touchdown. Now, need Roof's guys to hold em at a field goal.

 

[GTJT622]

Great job by Burton Dulaney out of the pen tonight. He was a strikeout machine on the mound.

JJ's up 7-3 still in the bottom of the 8th. Let's get some insurance, Jackets!!!

 

[GTJT622]

Jackets up 8-3 heading to the 9th. Getting that 2-pt conversion was a stroke of genius by CPJ. Good to see the old Riverboat Gambler in him back. Roof's defense has been outstanding since the 2nd.

 

[GTJT622]

Dulaney back out to close it off in the 9th. Good for him. He deserves the chance to finish this off on the hill.

 

[GTJT622]

And the JJ's get the win. Nice! Get the brooms out tomorrow, boys. Send 'em back to the cow pastures in Southwest Virginy with 3 L's.

 

[GTJT622]

JJ's up 6-1 heading to the top of the 6th.

Let's go, Jackets!!!

Finish off the sweep.

 

[GTJT622]

A look ahead to next weekend when the JJ's travel to what will be top 5 Cheaters (assuming they go on and sweep in New Jersey this weekend - up 5-0 in the 4th)....

*Tech has won our last 3 series in Chapel Hell:
2014: Tech 2-1
2012: Tech 2-1
2010: Tech 3-0 sweep
*Tech has won 5 of the last 6 series vs the Tar Holes
UNC won the series, 2-1, in Atlanta last year breaking a 5-year streak for the JJ's
*An oddity...since 2003, Tech and UNC have only met at the ACCT one time...a JJ's win in 2007 at Jacksonville, FL

 

[GTJT622]

Kel Johnson with a grand slam. Dude is hot as a firecracker!

Stay hot, Kel!!!

Woohoo!!

JJ's up 10-1 now.

 

[GTJT622]

Well, we can always count on Roof's porous defense to allow teams right back in the game. Buzzards post a 6-spot in the top of the 8th to cut it to 12-8. Damn.

Come on, JJ's!! Finish this off.

 

[GTJT622]

And, CPJ's offense bails us out. JJ's up 16-8 heading to the last.

For the 2nd time this weekend, the JJ's score in 7 of the 8 innings we batted in. Nice!

Sunday results of note...
Pitt 5-2 over FSU
Louisville 4-3 over Miami
Cheaters 8-2 over Duke
NC State 16-6 over Notre Dame
Clemson 3-2 over BC (10 innings)
[Kentucky takes the series at Hell, 2-1]
