Last season, Tech went 2-9 against ranked opponents. 17 GAMES IN 17 DAYS The Jackets open the season with three straight tournaments and a mid-week doubleheader. At each tournament, Tech plays five games and is slated to play 17 games from Feb. 6 - Feb. 22. NO PLACE LIKE HOME In an unexpected turn of events last season, the Georgia Tech softball team played more games on its home field last season than any other. Of 46 total games on the docket, Tech played 33 on its home field by the regular season s end. Since the Yellow Jackets were unable to make it to the Hillenbrand Invitational in Tucson, Ariz., due to weather issues, the six games Tech co-hosted in the Panther Invite became part of a 21-game stretch of home field advantage. The previous record streak was a mere 12-straight games played at home by the 2010 ACC Championship squad. This season, the Jackets take to the road with 32 of their 53 total games on the docket are to be played away from Mewborn Field. FAU TOURNAMENT COMPETITION Kansas: Georgia Tech leads 3-1; last meeting was in Myrtle Beach, S.C. on March 19, 2011 when the Jackets suffered a one-run loss 3-2 in eight innings. LIU-Brooklyn: Georgia Tech leads 2-0; last meeting was in Clearwater, Fla. on March 10, 2006 when the Jackets defeated LIU-Brooklyn 5-2 Penn State: Tech is 3-0 against the Nittany Lions all-time; Tech won the last meeting, 6-0, on March 12, 2011 in Atlanta, Ga. FAU: The Jackets have a 4-3 edge against the Owls all-time; Tech has won the last three games in the series, including a 3-2 victory in the teams last meeting on Feb. 11, 2011 in Clermont, Fla. Arkansas: The Jackets are 3-2 all-time against the Razorbacks; Tech won the last meeting 11-2 in five innints on Feb. 27, 2010 in Columbus, Ga. GRAND SALAMI Tech hit two grand slams last season both by freshmen - Samantha Pierannunzi against North Carolina and Colleen Darragh in a walk off slam against Virginia marking her first collegiate home run. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES >> In the 2013 season, Kylie Kleinschmidt compiled a 7-7 record with a 6.42 ERA and pitched 48 innings with 47 strikeouts. >> Last season, the junior finished 15-13, surpassing her season-high win total and her ERA through innings pitched was >> With a young staff of one senior and two freshmen in, the Jackets look to Kleinschmidt to build on last year s success. BOMBS AWAY The Yellow Jackets started last the season off with a bang, knocking four homers out of Shirley Mewborn Field in three games. >> Seven Jackets had at least two home runs led by Alysha Rudnik s nine homers. Ashley Thomas had seven, while Karly Fullem and Maddie Lionberger each had four. Courtney Ziese, Colleen Darragh and Samantha Pierannunzi had two homers each. >> The Jackets blasted three home runs in just one inning - the fourth inning in the 18-7 victory against ETSU. >> Tech hit at least two home runs in seven games last year - 2 vs. Missouri State, 4 vs. ETSU, 3 vs. Stony Brook, 3 vs. Boston College, 2 vs. Notre Dame, 2 vs. Virginia and 2 vs. Syracuse. 2
