TOP STORYLINES
• Georgia Tech baseball continues ACC play and its homestand when it hosts Clemson on March 24-26 at Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium.
• Georgia Tech has lost four of its last five, by an average of three runs, with three of the losses coming at the hands of top-20 opponents.
• Tech began last week by pushing No. 18 Auburn to the brink, falling in 12 innings on the road.
• It then went toe-to-toe against No. 2 Louisville in frigid Kentucky temperatures, dropping two of three to the Cardinals, including a walkoff Friday night.
• Tech also suffered an 8-5 loss to Wofford, who is the highest-ranked RPI team that the Jackets have faced.
• Tech showed flashes of what the young roster can produce, as its bullpen arms of Joseph Mannelly, Ben King, Terry Busse, Cody Carwile and Jackson Vaughan all impressed against red-hot offenses.
• Tech also was buoyed by the return of LHP Camron Hill, who hadn’t pitched since Opening Weekend.
• Another spark on the mound came in the start from true freshman RHP Luke Schmolke, who held the Cardinals in check on Saturday with a career-long 4.2 innings of one earned run and five strikeouts.
• Offensively, the Jackets were able to put up 31 runs on the top-20 pitching staffs from both the SEC and ACC, failing to score more than seven runs in just one game (Sunday vs. Louisville).
• Tech has hit .313 at the plate overall on the year, with seven .300 hitters in the lineup: Jake DeLeo (.427), Kristian Campbell (.393), Jack Rubenstein (.360), Jackson Finley (.359), Angelo Dispigna (.353), Jadyn Jackson (.343), and Stephen Reid (.341).
• With a team-high eight home runs, Finley’s .859 slugging percentage tops the ACC.
