Chaos in the ninth inning, a breakdown
What Happened
In a thrilling ninth-inning clash, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets hold a 7-3 lead over the Wright State Raiders. However, the game takes a dramatic turn as an error by the Georgia Tech shortstop opens the floodgates. The next Wright State batter flares a hit into right-center, putting runners on first and third with no outs. The Raiders' next batter, a "wiggly dude," works a six-pitch walk to load the bases. The Georgia Tech coach visits the mound, but the pitcher continues to struggle, walking in a run to make it 7-4. The coach then makes a pitching change, bringing in right-hander number 21. The new pitcher immediately walks in another run, and a wild pitch follows, tying the game at 7-7. The Raiders continue to apply pressure, and a bloop single scores another run, giving them a 7-6 lead. The Georgia Tech coach makes another pitching change, bringing in right-hander number 27. The new pitcher gets a groundout, but the Georgia Tech third baseman attempts an athletic play instead of the easy out at first, allowing the tying run to score. With the bases loaded and two outs, the Raiders' shortstop hits a shallow fly ball, but the runners hold, preserving the 7-7 tie. The Raiders bring in their closer, number 6, to try and close out the game in the bottom of the ninth. However, the inning starts with another Georgia Tech error, and a bunt attempt that hits the pitcher's hand leads to the tying runner reaching base. With runners on second and third, the Raiders intentionally walk the bases loaded to face Georgia Tech's Justin Turner, who looks like a "young Justin Turner." Turner steps up and drives a deep fly ball to center field, but the Wright State center fielder makes the catch. However, the tying run tags up and scores, and the go-ahead run also crosses the plate, giving Georgia Tech an 8-7 walk-off victory. The teams celebrate the thrilling finish, with Georgia Tech enjoying a dual celebration after the umpires review and confirm the call. This entire sequence, Noom, showcases the unpredictable and exciting nature of college baseball.
