Re: Georgia Tech player found dead

a terrible tragedy for the whole college baseball world.  You get the feeling that it will be all or nothing tomorrow for Tech.  Either they are going to come out against Miami fired up to win for their fallen teammate or Miami will slaughter them because their hearts just wont be into playing a baseball doubleheader the day after losing a friend and teammate.

Sounds like the team wanted to play the series tomorrow, according to their AD.

"Our players and the coaching staff were unanimous in support of this decision," Radakovich said. "The team was certain that a return to the field [today] was necessary and appropriate."
