TOP STORYLINES

• No. 7 Georgia Tech baseball comes off a red-hot series in which it downed then-No. 5 Georgia to begin ACC play against Virginia Tech on March 11-13 at Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium.

• The Jackets own a 39-20 all-time advantage against the Hokies, dating back to 1980, including 11-straight weekend series in favor of Georgia Tech.

• The 7th-ranked Jackets have proved to be every bit of the offensive powerhouse they were touted to be in the preseason. Through 13 games, Tech nationally ranks fifth 25 home runs, 16th with 142 hits, and 18th with 121 runs.

• Chandler Simpson has been the spark plug for Tech, ranking 11th in the nation in hits (23) and seventh in runs (20). He’s batting .460 on the year with a .556 on-base percentage.

• Kevin Parada has also been unstoppable at the plate, currently ranking No. 3 in the country in hits (25), fifth in home runs (7), sixth in RBI (20) and second in total bases (51). He’s hitting .472 with a .556 OBP and just five strikeouts in 53 at-bats.

• Also red-hot at the plate are Drew Compton (.383), Tres Gonzalez (.316), Tim Borden II (.308), and Andrew Jenkins (.292).

• Tech’s pitching has continued to show its power as Chance Huff pitched a career-long 7.0 innings against UGA, holding them to three hits, a solo HR and striking them out six times.

• On Saturday the team combined for 13 strikeouts and had freshmen Cody Carwile and Aeden Finateri combine for six two-hit innings.

• Zach Maxwell led the way with seven strikeouts against UGA and now sports a 2.25 ERA on the year.
