Georgia Tech is going for the sweep today vs NC State. The Yellow Jackets pulled out a late inning come from behind victory against the Wolfpack last night and look to finish off the series on a high note this afternoon.

Junior Porter Buursema made his first career start as a Yellow Jacket last night. He pitched 2.1 innings, just two out shy of his season long, set last Saturday at Pitt.

Junior Drew Burress delivered a vintage performance, going 3-for-5 with the go-ahead RBI and three runs scored. It was his fifth 3+ run game of the season and the 16th of his career.

Kent Schmidt delivered three hits, going 3-for-5 with three RBI. He nearly made it a career day in the eighth inning but was robbed of what would have been a three-run home run on a terrific defensive effort.
