RALEIGH, N.C. – In an Atlantic Coastal Conference Opening Weekend statement, No. 15 Georgia Tech outscored No. 8 NC State 25-9 on the weekend, including a 8-4 win on Sunday on Doak Field at Dail Park, to improve to 3-0 in ACC play.
The Yellow Jackets (6-1, 3-0 ACC) also captured their first sweep of an ACC opponent on the road since 2011 as the Wolfpack dropped to 2-4 and 0-3 in the league.
Offensively, Tech was once again electric, jumping out score four runs in the top of the first, thanks largely to two doubles. From there, the Jackets at least matched any run scored by NC State the rest of the way to maintain the lead.

106 Years Ago
The Yankees send ten-grand to the Detroit Tigers for the rights to Hugh High and Wally Pipp. High started in the outfield for much of three seasons before retiring in 1918, while Pipp went on to amass 31.2 career WAR over 15 years. Despite Pipp’s successful career as a major league starter, including 11 years on the Yankees, a 1923 World Series victory, and a pair of Deadball Era home run crowns, he’s most remembered for the incident that derailed his career, opening the door for another, greater one.

Tulsa Golden Hurricane outlook
Tulsa entered 2020 with only one winning season as a member of the AAC, but this season, the Golden Hurricane almost won the whole thing. They had all the makings of a team of destiny, coming back from down 18 to UCF, down to 17 to SMU, and down 14 to Tulane thanks to a Hail Mary on the final play of regulation. Tulsa took its undefeated AAC record into the conference championship game against a Top 10 opponent in Cincinnati.
