Jackets can't hold on to early lead, unable to complete sweep of Pitt

Georgia Tech's offense continued its impressive series on Sunday afternoon with 10 runs on 12 hits, but the Jackets' pitching staff couldn't hold up as Pittsburgh rallied from an early 6-0 deficit to earn a 12-10 win and deny Tech's bid at a three-game sweep of the ACC series.

The Jackets (16-4, 4-2 in ACC) scored six runs over the first two innings, but Pittsburgh answered with 10 combined in the fourth, fifth and sixth to go up 10-7. The Panthers (11-7, 1-2 in ACC) added two more to go up 12-8 in the ninth which proved to be important as Tech rallied for two in the bottom half of the ninth but couldn't get any closer.
