Goodman (5-1) earned a win in his third consecutive start after working six innings and allowing two runs on four hits. He walked one batter and struck out two. Georgia Tech's starting pitchers allowed just two runs in 20 innings in the three game weekend series, and the entire staff limited the Blue Devils to just three extra base hits for the series.
A day after collecting 32 hits in a doubleheader, the Yellow Jackets pounded out a season high 21 hits on Sunday. Slayden, Matt Murton, Eric Patterson and Tyler Greene led the parade with three hits each.
After squandering bases loaded opportunities in both the first and second innings, the Yellow Jackets broke through for three runs in the top of the third. Slayden singled and scored on Clifton Remole's RBI single, while Greene drove in two runs with a bases loaded single to give Tech an early 3-0 lead.
A solo home run from Brandon Boggs, his eighth of the year, made the score 4-0 in the fourth inning.
The Yellow Jackets stretched the lead to 7-0 with three runs in the sixth. Tech loaded the bases with no outs before Boggs scored on a wild pitch and Slayden drove in two runs with a single to right field.
Brian Patrick got Duke on the scoreboard with a two-run homer, his third of the season, in the bottom of the sixth inning.
A four run eighth inning for the Yellow Jackets broke the game open, making the score 11-2. Greene had a RBI triple in the inning, Remole and Steven Blackwood added RBI singles, and Micah Owings drove in the final run of the inning with a RBI groundout. Tech scored two more runs in the ninth on a pair of RBI singles from Murton and Blackwood, to extend the lead to 13-2.
Duke scored four runs in the ninth inning off Tech reliever Jeff Watchko with a pair of two-out, bases loaded single from Javier Socorro and Brian Patrick to provide the final 13-6 score.
Duke starter Kevin Thompson (2-7) took the loss, allowing four runs on 11 hits in 3.2 innings.
Georgia Tech returns to action next week when the Yellow Jackets host Georgia Southern for a two-game series on Tuesday at 7 p.m. and Wednesday at 4 p.m. Tuesday's game will be televised by Comcast Sports Southeast (cable channel 45 in Atlanta).
