Georgia rallies from three runs down, beats Georgia Tech 8
ATHENS. Ga. (AP) — Georgia used solo home runs by freshman Tre Phelps in the top of the eighth inning and Kolby Branch in the ninth to tie it, and Corey Collins capped a three-run 10th inning with a two-out, two-run double as the Bulldogs, seeded No. 7 nationally, rallied to beat Georgia Tech 8-6 on Sunday night, winning the Athens Regional and earning a spot in the super regionals.
Georgia Tech loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the 10th. Leighton Finley took over for Chandler Marsh after the first two batters reached base. He surrendered a single to Cam Jones before striking out Drew Burress. Matthew Ellis followed with a sacrifice fly for the second out and John Giesler grounded out for the third.
Dylan Goldstein and Slate Alford drove in first-inning runs to give the Bulldogs (42-15) a 2-0 lead.
Georgia Tech (33-25) got a run back in its half of the first when Burress tripled and scored on a single by Ellis.
