Well, Auburn ended our mini 12-game winning streak with a late rally to defeat the Jackets 7-6 in 11 innings........ However, the longer 25-game winning streak of ACC games is still in tact, but will be put to the test against top-10 power Miami in a 3-game set this weekend, starting tonight at 7:00pm.
Here's a nice story on the Jackets from Baseball America:
If freshman Michael Fisher starts at second base, Georgia Tech's entire lineup this weekend against No. 6 Miami will boast batting averages of .328 or better along with at least three doubles and two home runs. Even with junior Mike Trapani at second, his solid .411 on-base percentage will rank as the lineup's lowest.
But make no mistake - Miami brings the heat when it comes to pitching, so our bats better be ready. Their opening night starter, Cesar Carrillo, has a career record at Miami of 17-0. No, that's not a misprint. It gets worse. The Hurricane's all-time record when he pitches is 26-0. Wow!! ...... Here's more game notes.

Here's the irony of ironies. Coach Hall could pass former GT coach Jim Morris for all-time wins at GT by taking 2 of 3 games in the series. And of course, who is the Miami coach - noneother than Jim Morris...
In addition to keeping an unblemished mark in league play and its hold on first place, Tech hopes to secure Hall's spot atop the school career victories list. Hall, in his 12th season at Tech, has 503 wins. Miami coach Jim Morris, Hall's predecessor at Tech, won 504 games in 12 seasons as the Yellow Jackets' head coach.
