UConn Holds Off Georgia Tech Comeback in NCAA Tournament Opener, 7-6

The Huskies jumped out to a huge lead but allowed Georgia Tech to come back and put the winning run on base.

The 3-seeded UConn Huskies opened up NCAA Tournament play against the 2-seeded Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and came away with a win thanks to a big inning at the plate.

UConn built a 7-0 lead in the second inning and seemed to be sitting pretty. The Huskies had just sent 11 men to the plate and hit four doubles to push those seven across the plate. Georgia Tech's starter didn't make it out of the second and then the bullpen came in.
