ATLANTA –– Sophomore Buck Farmer tossed eight shutouts innings to lead the ninth-ranked Georgia Tech baseball team to a 3-0 win and a series victory over North Carolina, also ranked as high as No. 9, Sunday afternoon at Russ Chandler Stadium. The win gave head Coach Danny Hall is 300th-career Atlantic Coast Conference victory.
Sunday’s win provided Georgia Tech (37-16, 20-7 ACC) with a huge series victory over North Carolina (40-12, 17-10 ACC) after the Jackets had fallen in the opener on Friday before a ninth-inning comeback victory on Saturday. It was the seventh shutout this season recorded by the Tech pitching staff, one shy of tying a school record. It was also just the first time all year that the Tar Heels had been blanked.
“It was big,” said Hall of the momentum Saturday’s comeback victory gave the team heading into Sunday. “It totally flipped. We were dead in the water going into the ninth inning last night and it looked like we were going to lose the series, and then five runs later in the ninth we walk out of here with a chance to win. Buck Farmer was outstanding today, he can’t throw it better than he threw it and Luke [Bard] came in and did a great job in the ninth.”
