The weekend series: Two weekends remain in the Hokies’ ACC schedule and both are critical to make a return trip to schedule and both are critical to make a return trip to Durham, N.C. for the 2015 ACC Baseball Championship. Tech’s last two opponents are currently sitting outside the postseason standings, as are the Hokies, and the winner of this series with Boston College will certainly still be alive for the tournament, while the loser is more than likely eliminated.

Tech’s freshman pitchers win three in a row: For the first time since the Hokies joined the ACC (2005), the team saw three freshman starting pitchers win three straight games on the mound. The streak started with Packy Naughton, who become the first true freshman to win a start since Brendon Hayden (2012) and became just the third true freshman starting pitcher to win an ACC game (Justin Wright, 2x, in 2008 and Mathew Price, 2x, in 2009) when he tossed six innings of scoreless baseball in his start at Duke on Sunday.

That was followed by Connor Coward (vs. Appalachian State, Tuesday) and Joey Sullivan (vs. NC A&T) picking up wins in starts during the midweek. They became just the second trio of freshman starting pitchers to pick up wins in the same season. Wright won two, while Jesse Hahn and Sean McDermott each won one – ironically back-to-back on March 1 and 2 versus Central Connecticut State and Binghamton, respectively, during the 2008 season.

Payne ties 50-year old school record: On Tuesday versus Appalachian State, Erik Payne stepped to the plate five times and after each, trotted down to first base after drawing a walk. The five base on balls tied the school record for most walks in a single game first set by Wayne Taylor on March 24, 1964 versus Michigan State. The NCAA record is seven (Teddy Craig, UALR, May 2, 1992), while 12 other men have drawn six in a single game. The five walks tied the ACC record as well.

Consecutive lefty starts: Last year, Tech saw Sean Keselica (10), Jon Woodcock (5) and Kit Scheetz (3) start ACC games, but not during the same weekend. In 2014, lefties did make three consecutive starts during the year as Keselica started against Miami on April 5, Woodcock started April 6 and then Keselica made the Friday start on April 11 versus Maryland.

This season, Tech started six straight lefties in ACC play once, as Woodcock got the start on March 29 at Florida State before the three starts against the Yellow Jackets and then the first two at Miami (Keselica, Woodcock). Entering this weekend against Boston College, Tech has started a lefty on the mound in 11 of its last 12 conference games (Aaron McGarity, RHP, at Miami, April 12) and five straight, and are scheduled to start a lefty in each game this series.
