LIVE Updates: Georgia Tech vs Marshall Score, Game Three / Georgia Tech Athletic

After the Yellow Jackets offense pummeled Marshall in game one of the series, they went silent yesterday. Georgia Tech struggled mightily at the plate in their 4-2 loss to the Thundering Herd, the first loss of the season for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets offense scored 12 runs Friday (eight in the first two innings), but it could not have been more different yesterday. Georgia Tech was 2-24 with runners on base and 1-13 with runners in scoring position and it does not take a genius to figure out that you cannot win many baseball games with stats like that.

The good news is that Georgia Tech will have an opportunity to make it up this afternoon. They will face each other in game three of the series at 1:00 and hopefully for Danny Hall's team, the offense will return to its game one form.

Be sure to follow along here for the latest updates, scores, and highlights from today's game!
