Georgia bruises Tech at Russ Chandler

          The last time Georgia Tech was shut out by Georgia on Tech’s campus?

          Tech’s head coach was nine years old. Georgia’s was several years from being born.

          But Georgia romped 12-0 at Tech to take the series, with the third game Sunday at CoolRay Field.

          Georgia was strong on the mound early and at the plate late, Cam Shepherd with the icing and a ninth-inning slam.
