The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs lost to the No. 3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 14-4 in a run-rule game at Truist Park. Despite a strong start with a two-run homer from Michael O'Shaughnessy, Georgia Tech dominated the match with a series of unanswered runs.
The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs (32-10) squared off against the No. 3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (33-7) in Truist Park on Tuesday, April 21. The matchup between two top-five teams did not live up to the hype, however, as the Yellow Jackets demolished the Bulldogs 14-4 in a mercy rule.
The Bulldogs had a lead with Michael O'Shaughnessy hitting a two-run homer to right field in the first inning, but after that, it was all Yellow Jackets. They rattled off seven unanswered runs before Georgia scored two on two solo shots in the top of the fifth. Georgia Tech knocked in seven more runs through their next two frames, with Drew Burress walking it off with a two-RBI single to reach the final score of 14-4.
It was a rough day all around for Georgia baseball, and it's tough to really point the finger at any particular party. Georgia will try to rebound on the road this weekend against the Ole Miss Rebels as the Bulldogs look to stay No. 1 in the SEC standings.
The biggest positive to come out of this win was Michael O'Shaugnessy's day at the plate. He went two for four at the plate, belting two home runs and three of the Bulldogs' four runs on his own.
It's continuing an awesome trend for him. Against Arkansas on April 18, he hit two home runs. He went three for six that day, with eight RBIs. Overall, he's batting .303 with a .753 slugging. His 14 home runs are tied for second on the team, behind Daniel Jackson (20).
The final score was Georgia Tech 14, Georgia 4.

Georgia Bulldogs catcher Daniel Jackson (3) hits a single during the fourth inning against the Arkansas Razorbacks
Speaking of Daniel Jackson, he had a subpar day at the plate. He went zero for four with three strikeouts against Georgia Tech's pitching. It was the first time he had been held without a hit or an RBI since April 10 against the Florida Gators.
In fact, Georgia has lost every game in which Daniel Jackson didn't get at least a hit. He didn't get a hit against Wright State on Feb. 10, Texas A&M on March 22, Kennesaw State on March 24, at Florida on April 10, and now this game. He is the heartbeat of this lineup, and if he's having a rough day, Georgia falls.
The Bulldogs have been using Kenny Ishikawa as both a pitcher and an outfielder the entire season. It's a bold move, but Ishikawa had the raw talent on the mound and in the field to play both.
However, the experience has been rough so far. Ishikawa has a 13.83 ERA on the mound. That was amplified by Ishikawa giving up five runs in just 2/3 of an inning. That's the most he's given up in that short amount of time.
At the plate, he's been solid, with a .333 average and a .854 on-base percentage + slugging. However, he still has a long way to go to achieve his full potential. 2027 Kenny Ishikawa should be a much better two-way player than 2026 Ishikawa, and Georgia should try to retain him to see that potential through.
