On Thursday, March 12, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets won their third Atlantic Coast Conference game as they defeated Clemson on the road 10-0. The game ended after seven innings by way of a run rule.
Many Georgia Tech players had great performances. Vahn Lackey and Carson Kerce both had three hits apiece.
However, center fielder Drew Burress was the main attraction as he hit two home runs in the Yellow Jackets’ big win. He also led Georgia Tech in RBIs with three in the game.
