THE FLATS – Georgia Tech baseball stayed red-hot at the plate as it recorded 22 hits on the day to rout Gardner-Webb, 22-11, in seven innings on Saturday night at Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium.

Jackson Finley added two more home runs for the Yellow Jackets (25-18) – giving him four on the weekend – as he drove in a whopping seven runs on the day. Jadyn Jackson also drove in three runs on a career-best three-hit day for the shortstop. Angelo Dispigna hit the walkoff two-run homer in the seventh to join Kristian Campbell and Tyler Minnick in the three-hit club.

Jake DeLeo drove in three runs on two hits, while Drew Compton had a double and a solo home run for his two-hit day. John Giesler finished 2-for-4 with an RBI and Stephen Reid drove in a run on his hit.

Tech needed just three arms on the day. RHP Terry Busse got his third start of the season, going 3.1 innings and allowing four earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts. RHP Dawson Brown (3-2) made his second appearance since returning from injury, getting his third win of the season. In 2.1 innings of work, he allowed four runs on seven hits before LHP Dalton Smith closed out the final 1.1 innings of work scoreless.
