Was the sound of almost all the air going out of this season's balloon.

Great start...lousy finish....will try to avoid the sweep by Free Shoes University tomorrow in Tallahassee...maybe it'll be rained out...(:^).

Horrifying story and totals from www.ramblinwreck.com:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Four costly Georgia Tech errors led to 14 unanswered Florida State runs Saturday as the ninth-ranked Yellow Jackets suffered a 14-9 loss to the 14th-ranked Seminoles at Dick Howser Stadium.

Georgia Tech (12-2, 0-2 ACC) took an early 5-0 lead through 4.5 innings, but two fielding errors in the fifth led to six Seminoles runs and Florida State (12-3, 2-0 ACC) took the lead for good.

Preseason All-American and junior RHP Zac Ryan made his season debut Saturday for the Yellow Jackets. Ryan allowed one hit and one walk in 4.0 scoreless innings.
