Seen on Social Media Georgia Tech sophomore pitcher Brandon Gold, a Johns Creek High and Davis Academy grad, had struggled a bit after giving up no runs in his first three starts of the season, but he celebrated the end of Passover by bouncing back in a big way Sunday, April 12, against 15th-ranked Virginia. Gold gave up three hits, two walks and one run while striking out seven in seven innings in a 4-3 Tech win and raised his season record to 5-1. Another sports moment came during Passover when Chabad Rabbi Ari Sollish got up close and personal with former heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield, as shared by Joel Alpert on Facebook on April 9.
