Beesball season ends with fall at regional
There would be no repeat of the Greensboro heroics by the Tech baseball team as they bowed out in unceremonious fashion, losing to Stetson and East Carolina in the NCAA Baseball regionals. Tech was rewarded with a no.1 seed and made host of the regionals for winning the ACC tournament, but the team failed to capitalize on their advantages. Stetson, regarded as one of the best no.4 seeds in the regionals, edged out the hosts 5-4 in the opener. With their backs to the wall, the Jackets tried to rally but their worst fears came true as East Carolina ushered them out of the tournament. Tech started out well in the tournament, as they took a 2-0 lead thanks to a Matt Murton RBI single in the third and a solo homer by pitcher Micah Owings. History was also on Tech’s side as they previously had never lost a game in which Owings pitched and homered in.
