The Jackets end up as the #2 seed in the Athens regional. No surprise. I imagine that UGAg coaches are none too happy about it. We will be matched up against Louisville to start out. Not too bad, and our chances should be as good as anyone. Regional info. Here's some info:Friday, May 30Game 1: Georg...

Last week, Jon Lester pitched a no-hitter for the Red Sox. It was a feel good story. The guy battles back from cancer, clinches the World Series for the Red Sox last year, and now pitches a no-no.

The Jackets went down big in the first half, which is a death-wish against Duke. However, they managed a big run early in the 2nd half to...

There's a lot to keep up with in Jacket-land, and there's just not the time to spend giving you all the nitty-gritty. So let's hit the highlights: The baseball team wins another game, this one more important as they are now 1-0 in the ACC. They crushed VaTech 14-1 on the strength of two, count-em tw...

Nothing like opening up the beesball season with a 14-0 thrashing of the Youngstown State Penguins. The story of the game - 7 innings of 2-hit pitching by David Duncan and solid hitting up and down the line-up. Jay Dantzler gets the first long-ball of the season and the first of his career. Tell you...
