He went 3-for-4 at the plate, finishing a single shy of the cycle and leads the team in RBI (28), slugging percentage (.933), home runs (7 – tied with Ryan Zuckerman) and stolen bases (7-for-7).

This weekend will renew a rivalry with one of Tech’s most common opponents. This weekend’s series will be the 247th, 248th and 249th all-time meetings between GT and Clemson. The Tigers lead the series 124-119-3 and are 56-25-1 against the Yellow Jackets in Clemson.

Georgia Tech has scored 228 runs through its first 17 games, the most runs scored up to this point in GT’s 131-year history. Tech eclipsed 200 runs scored for the season in just 15 games, breaking the previous program record by two games (reached 200 runs in 17 games back in 1987).
