Tech Wins 5th in a Row, 11-4 over KSU – Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech baseball (11-2) rattled off nine unanswered runs behind 7.2 scoreless innings from the bullpen as the Yellow Jackets dispatched of Kennesaw State (5-9) by a final score of 11-4 on Tuesday evening inside Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium. Tyler Neises hit his first-career home run and the combination of Mason Patel, Caden Gaudette, Sam Swygert, Alex Hernandez and Cole Royer kept KSU frustrated as the Jackets carry a five-game winning streak into ACC play this weekend.

QUICK HITS: THE TEAM

• The Jackets improve to 11-2 on the year, the best record through 13 games since starting the 2016 season 12-1.
• The Georgia Tech bullpen threw 7.2 scoreless innings today. They extend the scoreless streak to 16.2 straight innings over the last four games, only allowing 11 hits and striking out 18 over that time.
• The Jackets only found one double today, off the bat of Kent Schmidt (6^th). Tech has hit 44 doubles this season – the most in Division I and the most by a GT team through 13 games since at least the turn of the century.
• Georgia Tech pitching has posted a 3.97 ERA over the opening 13 games, its lowest since the 2020 season.
• The Yellow Jackets lead the all-time series with Kennesaw State, 27-10, following today’s result.
• Tech is 3-0 against in-state opponents this season and have won seven-straight regular season games against programs from in-state dating back to last season.

QUICK HITS: THE BATS

• Sophomore Tyler Neises connected for his first collegiate home run in Tech’s five-run sixth inning. He is up to eight RBI this season.
