Georgia Tech entered Friday looking to pick up a series win against one of the best teams in the nation. Unfortunately for the Jackets, Virginia had some other plans. Yellow Jackets starting pitcher Keyton Gibson would last just an inning and a third on Friday as he surrendered nine runs, eight of them earned. Ultimately, the Cavaliers used their nine runs in the first two frames to catapult themselves to a 16-3 victory.
For the Cavaliers, there was no looking back after a big six-run first inning. The Cavaliers would bat around the order in the first inning, picking up the six runs on four hits and an error.
