Junior RHP Ryan Sande (2-1, 3.69) tried to salvage a win for Radford against Tech’s usual midweek starter Brant Hurter (4-3, 5.98). The expectation is that English will go against uga Tuesday at SunTrust as Hurter has lost twice against them already. Today’s game had much less drama as Tech led from start to finish with Hurter, Combs, and Archer combining for a 12 strikeout shutout.
The Jackets went out to a 1-0 lead in their 1st on singles by Bailey and Bart and an RBI sacrifice fly by English. The lead survived a bases loaded situation in the top of the 2nd when Bailey made a nice play on a slow bouncer for out three.
