Thursday Highlights

No. 1 Georgia Tech 16, No. 8 Virginia 10

It looked like the No. 1 team in the tournament was in significant trouble when Virginia built a 9-5 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning.

And then that seventh inning happened.

Georgia Tech pushed seven runs across the plate in that frame before adding four more runs of insurance in the eighth. It was a dramatic turnaround that resulted in a 16-10 victory for the Yellow Jackets.

Parker Brosius launched a grand slam in the seventh as one of four long balls during those two innings. Carson Kerce, Vahn Lackey and Kent Schmidt hit the other ones during the offensive explosion.

Kerce and Lackey each launched two homers during the game.

In a normal game, 10 runs would have been enough to win for Virginia. Joe Tiroly, Harrison Didawick and Antonio Perrotta all hit home runs for the Cavaliers, but Georgia Tech's power proved too much to overcome.
