The weekend series: Tech’s schedule the last six weeks, (includes UNC series), has featured the last 13 ACC Baseball Championship teams. In its ACC history, only the 2010 squad had more wins (when playing all six of those teams in an ACC season) with seven than the Hokies have this year (6). The 2013 squad had six wins but did not play Clemson. Ironically, both the 2010 and 2013 teams made the ACC postseason.

Perez is the nation’s Ironman: 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. Entering conference games being played this weekend, Perez’ 208 consecutive starts is the longest consecutive streak in the nation and the longest ever to start a Tech career. Of his 208 starts at Tech, 144 have been at second base, 60 have been at shortstop and four have been on the mound.

Hokies winning the close ones: With four weekends left, Tech has almost doubled its one-run wins from a year ago, 9-5 this season opposed to 5-10 during the 2014 season. When it comes to ACC games, they were 3-10 last year and are 4-2 so far in 2015. Another trend for Tech is its success on Friday nights/Game 1s of the ACC series. The Hokies are 3-3 after going 2-8 all of last year.
