Bulldogs Blank Georgia Tech, 8-0
February 28, 2023 | Softball
ATLANTA – The 18th-ranked Georgia softball team earned an 8-0 victory in six innings over rival Georgia Tech Tuesday evening at Mewborn Field.
Georgia climbs to 13-4 on the season and have tied the program record of six-straight shutout victories, tying the mark most recently achieved in 2018.
Graduate Shelby Walters (6-1) pitched the complete-game shutout, allowing four hits. She was perfect the first time through the Georgia Tech order. She concluded the game with four strikeouts.
The offense was led by two-hit performances from junior Sydney Chambley and sophomore Lyndi Rae Davis. Chambley joined freshman Marisa Miller driving in two runs apiece. Georgia totaled eight hits in the game.
The Bulldogs put up five runs in the second to take an early lead in the midweek matchup. The inning began with a single from Davis and a walks to Sydney Kuma and Jaiden Fields to load the bases. Miller drove the first pitch she saw into the left-center cap to plate two and put Georgia on the board, 2-0. Ellie Armistead grounded out to second to plate Fields. With two in scoring position, Chambley doubled to right, plating both runs to widen the advantage to 5-0 for the Dogs.
With runners on the corners, a wild pitch proved costly, allowing Dallis Goodnight to score and Chambley to pull up at third. Chambley immediately scored on a groundout off the bat of Sara Mosley to lengthen Georgia's lead to 7-0 in the fourth inning.
Freshman Jaydyn Goodwin, who led off the sixth with a pinch hit walk and worked her way around to third, tagged up and scored on a sac fly to right off the bat of Jayda Kearney to bring the lead to 8-0.
Georgia Tech (8-8) put runners in scoring position in the bottom of the sixth, but Walters wiggled out of the game to finish the run-rule victory.
Georgia returns to Jack Turner Stadium to host the Bulldog Classic. The Bulldogs welcome Ball State, Stetson, and Samford in the 10-game round robin tournament beginning Friday.
