Dominant Pitching Leads to Doubleheader Sweep – Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech baseball (37-15, 17-10 ACC) allowed only two hits over 16.0 innings of action, taking both games of a doubleheader against No. 20 Louisville (34-17, 14-13 ACC) by final scores of 6-0 (7) and 2-1 on Sunday at Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium. Brady Jones tossed the Jackets first complete game shutout of the season in game one before Jaylen Paden threw six no-hit innings and Mason Patel polished off the final three for back-to-back one-hit games from the GT pitching staff to cap off Danny Hall Weekend.

Both Tech starters, Jones and Paden carried no-hitters through the sixth inning with Jones coming one strike away from GT’s first no-hitter in 38 years before he allowed a full count single in the top of the seventh. Paden didn’t allow any hits over his 6.0 innings of work with Louisville getting their first hit of game two in the seventh inning, a solo shot to tie the game, 1-1, only for Kyle Lodise to put Tech back in front in the bottom of the inning with his third RBI of the day.

In between games, Georgia Tech retired head coach Danny Hall’s No. 17. Joining Mark Teixeira (23), Jason Varitek (33) and Jim Luck (44) on the right field wall. This was Coach Hall’s final regular season weekend on The Flats after he announced that this would be his last season as head coach earlier this spring. The Jackets sent him out with a pair of wins, reaching 17 conference victories while securing the best regular season home record (26-9) in 15 seasons.
