Georgia Tech baseball sells out weekend series against Florida State

Staff Reports

THE FLATS – All seats for No. 2 Georgia Tech baseball’s entire three-game series versus No. 5 Florida State from April 9-11 at Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium are sold out. This marks the first time in program history that Georgia Tech has sold out an entire series. The announcement solidifies this coming weekend as one of the most anticipated series in GT Baseball history as the No. 2-ranked Yellow Jackets, riding a season-long nine game winning streak, take on the No. 5-ranked Seminoles in the first Top 5 series on The Flats since 2009.

These games will now be the 4th, 5th and 6th sellouts of the season for Georgia Tech, tripling the previous program record (2). Demand is at an all-time high to see the Yellow Jackets in action on The Flats, as they’ve drawn crowds of 2,000 or more for every home game this season (a program first), buoyed by a school record for season tickets purchased.

The Yellow Jackets sit atop the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 27-5 (12-3 ACC) record. The Jackets are 3-0 when playing in front of a sold-out Mac Nease Baseball Park this year, winning each game by at least nine runs, scoring 13+ runs in each game and winning by a combined score of 40-11.
