>> In the rubber-game of the rivals’ three-game season series, Georgia Tech and Georgia meet for the 362nd time Tuesday night in the annual Kauffamn Tire Spring Baseball Classic for Kids at Turner Field in downtown Atlanta.

>> The Yellow Jackets were victorious over the Bulldogs, 4-1, at Russ Chandler Stadium on April 15 after UGA walked off with a 1-0 win on March 4 in Athens. Tech is looking to claim the Georgia series for the fourth time in five years.

>> Behind one of the ACC’s best middle infield duos of 2B Mott Hyde and SS Connor Justus, Tech is tied for the NCAA lead in double plays with 62. The Jackets are fielding .970 overall (.975 in ACC).

>> Hyde — 5-for-9 (.556) in three career games at Turner Field with two doubles, a home run, four RBI and two runs — is riding an ACC-best 30-game reached-base streak. Hyde leads all active NCAA players in career games (240) and career starts (240).

>> With 68 hits and seven triples, junior Daniel Spingola leads the ACC in both categories. Spingola’s 43 hits in ACC play are also a league-high. He is hitting .325 overall, 11th in the conference.
