Pure Gold: Georgia Tech Ace Bests Gallen

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Week Six features a stellar slate of action across college baseball, but one of the week’s best pitching matchups took place Thursday night at Boshamer Stadium, where two of the nation’s best control pitchers faced off. North Carolina’s Zac Gallen (3-0, 1.45, 44-7 K-BB mark in 37 innings entering the game) had been one of college baseball’s best pitchers over the first five weeks of the season, but Georgia Tech’s Brandon Gold (2-1, 2.10, 31-7 K-BB in 30 IP) wasn’t far behind him — and Gold won Thursday’s showdown, outlasting Gallen in Georgia Tech’s 3-2 victory.
