The weekend series: Virginia Tech heads out on the road this weekend to face nationally-ranked Florida State. The Hokies have not seen the Seminoles since 2013, when Tech won a series against FSU in Blacksburg, then walked-off on them in the ACC Tournament in Durham, N.C. - a Mark Zagunis solo home run in the ninth in the 3-2 victory. Tech has lost four straight in Tallahassee - being swept in 2012 - but won its only series at Florida State during the 2010 campaign.

Perez is the nation’s Ironman: Entering the weekend, Tech’s Alex Perez is one of four seniors in DI baseball to have started every one of his team’s games since stepping foot on campus. Perez’ 196 consecutive starts is currently the longest streak in the nation and the longest to start a career at Tech. Of his 196 starts at Tech, 140 have been at second base, 52 have been at shortstop and four have been on the mound.

Another solid start to the ACC: The Hokies have now started the past three seasons with a 5-4 mark in the conference - which is the best start ever. Twice Tech has started the season at 4-5 and in the prior four seasons, weekend No. 4 has always been a precursor to how the rest of the season progressed with Florida State and Virginia providing the opponents those weekends. (See pdf game notes for chart).

On this date: The Hokies have not played a game on March 27 in three seasons. The last time was during the 2012 season - at Eagle Field in Harrisonburg, Virginia against James Madison. Freshman second baseman Alex Perez broke a 4-4 tie in the top of the eighth inning with a two-run double and Tech went on to defeat JMU, 6-4, for the program’s 2,000th career win becoming just the 44th DI program, at the time, to due so. Sean Keselica also pitched in the game (0.2 IP).
