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.
