Storylines
- Tech enters the first conference series of the season after falling 8-3 on Wednesday to No. 19 Mississippi State. The midweek loss snapped the Yellow Jackets six-game win streak.
- Against the ranked Bulldogs, Jayden Gailey recorded her fourth home run of the season in the second inning while Alyssa Willer continues to lead the team in home runs this season after recording her sixth home run of the season in the sixth inning.
- Her sixth home run leaves Willer tied for third most in the ACC as the Jackets prepare for conference play later this week.
- Willer’s team-high three hits against the Bulldogs bring her to a team-high nine multi-hit games this season while her team-high two RBI also bring her to a team-high nine multi-RBI games.
- Tech has now recorded at least one home run in 13 of its 19 total games played so far this season. Of those 13 games, nine games have seen multiple home runs recorded. The Yellow Jackets so far this season have not gone more than one game without hitting a home run.
- Prior to the midweek game, Yellow Jackets saw a spotless 6-0 week which featured four shutout wins and four run rule wins at the I-75 Tournament.
- Madalyn Johnson had an exceptional week with three starts, two complete games, two solo shut outs, 15.0 innings pitched, 15 strikeouts, and not a single run surrendered, earned or unearned. Johnson earned the first weekly awards of the season for Tech as she was named both the ACC Pitcher of the Week and an NFCA Top Performer.
- The Yellow Jackets have competed in five-ranked match ups so far in the 2026 season after most recently playing No. 19 Mississippi State. Tech has only dropped three games at home, all of which were against ranked opponents.
