Milton's NCAA baseball weekend

Both Georgia teams came out of last weekend's conference tournaments with hardware — Georgia took the SEC, Georgia Tech took the ACC. As of Sunday morning, both are still unbeaten in the NCAA Tournament: Georgia went 2-0 in the Athens Regional (18-2 over LIU, 6-2 over Liberty), and Georgia Tech did the same in Atlanta (22-5 over UIC, 9-3 over Oklahoma). Each plays its regional final today — win it and they're into a Super Regional next weekend; lose and it goes to a winner-take-all Monday. Milton households split between the two are, for now, 2-for-2. And there's a local rooting interest on the Tech side: right-hander Caden Gaudette, a Milton High grad, is on the Yellow Jackets' roster.

Worth keeping in mind: Crabapple sent a kid named Nap Rucker to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1907. His nephew Johnny made the cover of Life in 1940. The town's been producing baseball characters for a hundred and forty years. Milton's not new at this.
