>> Junior LF Kyle Wren carries a team-best 12-game hitting streak into the game. He’s hitting .366 with three doubles, three triples and 14 stolen bases. He’s third at Tech in career triples (16) and 14th in steals (46).
>> Hitting .351 as a team, Tech leads the NCAA and has a 32-point lead over North Carolina for the ACC lead. The Jackets are the ACC’s highest scoring team (213 runs), and also lead the conference in OBP (.432), slugging (.514) and tied for the lead with 22 homers.
>> The Jackets are looking to bounce back after a tough week against Top 25 clubs, failing to complete the season-sweep of Georgia Southern on Tuesday, then falling twice at Florida State.
