The weekend series: Tech enters the stretch run after just completing a gauntlet of six-week period when the team faced the last 13 ACC Baseball Championship teams. The Hokies went 7-10 in that span, the best winning percentage ever against those six teams in its ACC history Only the 2010 squad had as many wins (when playing all six of those teams in an ACC season) as they went 7-11, while the 2013 squad was 6-9, but did not play Clemson. Of note, both the 2010 and 2013 teams made the ACC postseason tournament.

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 games being played this weekend, Perez’ 211 consecutive starts is the longest consecutive streak in the nation and the longest ever to start a Tech career. Of his starts, 144 have been at second base, 63 have been at shortstop and four have been on the mound.

Hokies winning the close ones: With three weekends left, Tech has almost doubled its one-run wins from a year ago, 9-6 this season opposed to 5-10 during the 2014 season. When it comes to ACC games, they were 3-10 last year and are 4-3 so far in 2015. Another trend for Tech is its success on Friday nights/Game 1s of the ACC series. The Hokies are 4-3 after going 2-8 all of last year.
