Florida A&M (27-33) lost to #3 Georgia Tech (42-17) by a score of 13-2 in the first game of the NCAA Baseball Atlanta Regional. Early miscues by the Rattlers contributed to the Yellow Jackets jumping out to a 5-2 lead after the first three innings as FAMU recorded three errors and walked five Yellow Jacket batters in those innings. Once FAMU settled down, GT was held scoreless over the middle three innings as the score remained 5-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. The Jackets then scored eight runs in the seventh and eighth innings to put the game out of reach.
The Rattlers will next face Coastal Carolina (35-25-1) in an elimination game on today at 1:00 PM ET.
