Hoping to extend an impressive season that saw them win the Colonial Athletic Association tournament, Georgia State University's baseball team will match up against cross-town rival Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets for tonight's sold out game 2 of the NCAA Baseball Tournament regionals.
From USA Today:
Georgia State is one of five newcomers in the 64-team field, joining Binghamton, Cal Poly, Kansas State and Xavier. The Panthers (39-20) qualified by winning the Colonial Athletic Association tournament. They are on a school record-tying eight-game winning streak.
"We're going to baseball heaven now," [coach Greg] Frady said. "Anytime you break through to a new level it's a hard push. But we thought this could be the team that could do it."
Though the Yellow Jackets are the top seed in the Atlanta Regionals, GA State beat them 10-1 on March 24, marking the second time in three seasons that the Panthers have won at Russ Chandler Stadium. Both schools will be joined by Elon University and Southern Miss University to complete the four-team, double-elimination tournament.
The tournament continues all week-end long and concludes on Monday.
GO STATE!
