The Yellow Jackets took the series against the Deacons of Wake Forest yesterday as they won the rubber match in the 12th inning thanks to a Jake Davies sacrifice fly. Final scores for the games were 5-1 (Mark Pope pitches a gem), 4-6, and 6-5.
The Jackets can continue to solidify their position within the ACC as long as they continue to win series. Add in a sweep or two, and we're all set.I'd pull up the current standings if I could but the ACC's website is down...actually so is ramblinwreck.com and other ".cstv" sites. uhoh.
Edit: I can now access the standings. Here they are below. Remember the top two teams from each division and then the next top four teams, regardless of division, are selected for the ACC Tournament.

Georgia Tech will travel to Mercer on Tuesday in Macon. The teams played each other earlier this year and Mercer beat the then #6 team in the country and stopped the 16-game winning streak that Tech had put together.
The Jackets will return to home this weekend for a series against the Boston College Eagles. Let's take the sweep. Don't forget! The spring game is April 23rd and the baseball game has been pushed up so fans may go to the spring game and then immediately walk over to catch the game at Russ Chandler. Make a Georgia Tech day out of Saturday!

The Eagles are having problems with their starting pitching. Let’s jump on these guys early and force them to play from behind. They are not a great hitting team, so a big lead early will help a lot.
I say we score 9 runs in the first inning, then slowly pull away until we have a comfortable lead.
That would be nice
Though it seems the high scoring games (9+ runs) have slowly trickled off over the last few weeks. Since the Miami series (why does it feel so long ago?), we have only managed to score 9+ four times and gone 3-1 in those games. Now, that’s only 12 of 37, but I think we should start to expect a slight decline in the spectaclular hitting numbers all those freshmen have been putting up.
That’s not to say that GT shouldn’t be expected to take the series against BC though. I mean, Danny Hall is still coaching, haha!
