Tech Out; Draft Next
Georgia Tech’s baseball season ended Sunday, June 5, after the Yellow Jackets went 2-2 in the NCAA Division I tournament, with both of the pitching wins credited to Tech’s star Jewish pitching duo from Alpharetta and Johns Creek High School.
Tech head coach Danny Hall chose not to pitch ace starter Brandon Gold, a Davis Academy alum, in the opening game of the double-elimination, four-team Gainesville (Fla.) Regional on June 3. That decision backfired when Connecticut scored seven runs in the second inning against Zac Ryan and reliever Ben Parr and held on for a 7-6 win.
Gold picked up the win when Tech eliminated Bethune-Cookman the next day, 12-3. Gold gave up three earned runs on seven hits with four walks and five strikeouts in seven innings.
“Even though Brandon didn’t have his best stuff, he really battled and gave us innings, which we needed desperately,” Hall said.
Gold ended the year with a 9-3 record and 2.48 ERA.
His longtime teammate, closer Matthew Gorst, got the victory Sunday in a revenge game against Connecticut, 7-5, although he also wasn’t at his best. Gorst gave up only his third earned run of the year, ending a streak of 22 innings without surrendering an earned run, and suffered his first blown save in the eighth inning.
But Tech scored two runs in the top of the ninth, and Gorst retired the Huskies in order in the bottom of the inning to raise his record to 2-1 with 12 saves and an ERA of 0.55.
Neither Gold nor Gorst was available to pitch that night, however, and Florida eliminated Tech, 10-1, and advanced to a superregional meeting with Florida State.
Because they are juniors, both Gold and Gorst are eligible for the Major League Baseball draft, set to start at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 9. Neither is projected to be taken in the first 10 of the 40 rounds.
