May 8 at Russ Chandler Stadium in Atlanta, GA
Georgia Tech is the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champions and if the Yellow Jackets are going to go to Greensboro in a couple weeks and repeat, Jonathan King should have a lot to do about it.
King seems to be gearing up for that potential ACC run as the left-hander has been phenomenal over the last three weeks. That includes Friday's 9-1 Tech win in which King tossed seven innings of three-hit ball and struck out a career-high seven. The only run Pittsburgh scored was unearned as King improved to 2-1 with a 0.65 ERA in his last four starts.
Pittsburgh bright spot, are you there?
It's been a rough season for the visitors from Pennsylvania, who fell to 6-19 in the ACC in dropping their seventh consecutive league game.
So, I was trying to a find bright spot for Pitt this evening and I think it's this: starter T.J. Zeuch struck out four batters to move into sole possession of 10th place on the school's all-time single-season strike out list with 83. (No. 2 bright spot: Jacob Wright's hustle double to open the game?).
Now to the bad for Zeuch: the righty allowed nine runs (eight earned), including a two-home run to freshman Kel Johnson in the first inning that actually landed on the roof of the Carrillo Street Steam Plant on Pittsburgh's campus, and A.J. Murray's opposite field, two-run shot in the fourth that right fielder and Webb Bobo All Star Boo Vazquez seemed to have in his glove before it spilled over the wall.
Nicknames!
These aren't actually nicknames, just altered versions of the players' actual names and sound effects, but that's what we love here at 300 Game Season. What do you have for us, fans?
