After 5 innings of play, Louisville (16-1, 1-0 ACC) was in cruise control in their ACC opener against Georgia Tech (13-5, 2-2 ACC). Ryan Hawks (5 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 7 K) was recording yet another impressive outing for the Cardinals ace, then the Yellow Jackets bats woke up.
Facing a 5-0 deficit, Georgia Tech began the 6th inning with five consecutive singles, including one that was misplayed by Haven Mangrum in left field, allowing three runs to score.
They would ultimately score 6 runs in the inning to claim their first lead of the evening, followed by an insurance run in the 7th, increasing the lead to 7-5.
