What's At STAKE for UNC and GT?
This weekend's series with UNC at Georgia Tech will determine many things. "It seems like all our games usually are really competitive with them," Georgia Tech coach Danny Hall said of the Tar Heels. "I'm sure these are going to be the same way. They're one of the elite teams not only in our league but in the country, and hopefully we are too. We'll find out."
From Baseball America:
North Carolina might have an advantage over the Yellow Jackets on the mound—the Tar Heels have a pitching edge over just about everybody—but Georgia Tech's offense has been decidedly more explosive thus far. The Yellow Jackets lead the ACC with 42 home runs (eight more than second-place UNC) despite playing three fewer games (22) than any other team in the conference. Tech is scoring nine runs per game, while UNC is averaging 7.5. The balanced Jackets have 11 players with two or more home runs, led by corner infielders Tony Plagman and Matt Skole, who have seven apiece.
If the pitching holds up, Georgia Tech might establish itself as the ACC's most balanced team. Certainly the Jackets can take control of the ACC by weathering their current three-week stretch, which includes series at Miami and home against UNC and Virginia. By Easter Sunday, we'll know if Georgia Tech has passed North Carolina as the ACC's team to beat.
