The No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs defeated the No. 14 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 6-5 Friday night at Foley Field in the first game of a weekend-long series.
Georgia junior right-hander Emerson Hancock made his third start of the season versus Georgia Tech in impressive fashion as he retired the first nine batters he faced.
Through the first three innings, Hancock didn’t allow a baserunner until the Yellow Jackets’ leadoff hitter Luke Waddell doubled to open up the fourth inning. With one out, Georgia Tech had runners in scoring position when Drew Compton singled scoring Waddell giving them a 1-0 lead.
