STATESBORO, Ga. (Interstat) — Georgia Tech unleashed a relentless offensive barrage Tuesday night, amassing 26 hits in a 25-1 rout of Georgia Southern at J.I. Clements Stadium.

The Yellow Jackets, improving to 2-0, scored in five of the first seven innings, including a nine-run second and an eight-run seventh, to hand the Eagles their fourth consecutive loss to start the season.

The most decisive sequence came in the top of the second inning, which transformed a manageable 1-0 lead into a commanding rout. Georgia Tech sent 12 batters to the plate against three Georgia Southern pitchers, scoring nine runs on five hits, three walks and a hit batter. The frame was capped by a three-run double from Cam Zuckerman, who cleared the bases to extend the lead to 10-0.

Georgia Tech starter RHP Dawson Loy worked two hitless innings, striking out four, before turning the game over to the bullpen. Five Yellow Jackets relievers combined to allow one unearned run on six hits over the final seven innings.

The offensive output was widespread. Eight of Georgia Tech’s nine starters recorded at least one hit, with seven posting multi-hit games. Vahn Lackey hit a three-run homer in the third inning, his first of the season. Pinch-hitter Parker Brosius later added a three-run shot of his own in the seventh, also his first.

Georgia Southern’s offense struggled throughout, striking out 18 times. The Eagles avoided the shutout with an unearned run in the ninth inning on a sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter JD Kisz.

Georgia Tech used 22 players in the victory. Georgia Southern employed seven pitchers, none of whom recorded more than five outs.

According to Interstat’s ELO system, Georgia Tech was projected with a 66.10 percent probability to win.

Georgia Tech will host Stony Brook for a four-game series beginning Friday. Georgia Southern travels to South Florida for a three-game set starting the same day.
