Statesboro, Ga. --- The Georgia Southern baseball team (3-1, 0-0 SBC) came up just short in their first midweek contest of the year, 5-3, to Georgia Tech (4-0, 0-0 ACC).

For both offenses, the opening third of the contest was full of power. It was Southern who took the early lead over the ACC foe after Sean Smith powered a two-run homer over the left field wall on a chilly Tuesday night just two batters after Josh tate reached aboard off a leadoff double.
