In Friday s 17-5 run-rule win over No. 19 Virginia, he was 2-for-3 with two runs a double, a homer and three RBI. His three-run homer came in the bottom of the seventh in walk-off fashion that invoked the 10-run rule. In Saturday s 5-1 win over Clemson, he pitched six innings of two-hit, one-run ball and hit a two-run homer in the first inning to give himself a 2-0 lead. In the ACC Championship game win over No. 21 Miami, he was 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run. >> He s hit a career best 13 bombs this season, and of his 19 career blasts, 13 have come with runners on base. >> He s homered in four of the last five games and in eight of the last 21 (including two-homer games Clemson on April 28, and Florida State on May 23). >> Another indication of how clutch Davies was last week, he drove in the game-winning run three times (FSU, Clemson and Miami) and scored the game-winning run in the Virginia game (see chart next page). >> Davies is the first Tech player to claim a National Player of the Week honor from Louisville Slugger since former Jacket pitcher Mark Pope on April 18, Seven previous Yellow Jackets have earned ACC tournament MVP honors -- Tyler Greene (2005), Brian Burks (2003), Jason Basil (2000), Ty Griffin (1988), Todd Shiver (1987), Jeff Distasio (1986) and Scott Jordan (1985). FARMER NAMED FIRST TEAM ALL-ACC >> Junior RHP Buck Farmer was named the ACC Pitcher of the Week and the College Sports Madness National Pitcher of the Week on April 2 after a masterful complete-game, three-hit shutout of Duke -- a 1-0 Tech win. >> Farmer added another notch to his 2012 resume by earning a spot on the All-ACC First Team, joining North Carolina s Kent Emanuel, Duke s Marcus Stroman and NC State s Carlos Rodon as the other three first-team starting pitchers. >> Farmer struck out 11 Blue Devils and posted the only complete-game shutout thrown in the ACC this season. For Farmer, it was his first career shutout and his third career complete game. >> The righty is third in the ACC with 110 strikeouts -- Stroman, Rodon and Farmer are the only three ACC pitchers with 100+ punchouts in >> With six strikeouts versus Florida State last Wednesday, Farmer moved sole possession of 14th at Tech in career strikeouts, with 260. He s passed former Yellow Jacket Kevin Brown s ( ) 249 this season, and the career record of 458 is held by Doug Creek ( ). >> With 245 career wins, he s tied for 15th on Tech s all-time list. FARMER IS CLUTCH IN THE CLUTCH >> In his eight career starts versus ACC opponents ranked in the Top 25, Farmer has pitched to a 2.95 ERA and a 3-2 record -- that includes a pair of wins this season at No. 6 North Carolina when he allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings, and a win over No. 1 Florida State (six innings, three runs, six strikeouts) last week at the ACC Tournament. >> In postseason play, Farmer owns a 2-1 record in three career starts with a 3.00 ERA -- that includes a pair of ACC Tournament starts against FSU in 2011 and 2012, and a complete-game gem with five hits, two runs and nine strikeouts to beat Austin Peay in last year s NCAA Atlanta Regional. EVERYWHERE EVANS >> For as hot as Davies bat has been, sophomore C/RHP Zane Evans has been warmer. Evans hit.444 (8-for-18) in the tournament with three doubles, a home run and 10 RBI. He recorded a career-best six RBI in the Virginia win, and chipped in three more RBI in the championship game. >> Like Davies, Evans made the All-Tournament Team, and made a statement on the mound by firing three perfect innings with three strikeouts to slam the door on Miami in the championship game for his sixth save. >> He s started 27 games behind the plate this season, and in his career, Tech is when he starts at catcher (17-10 this season). Evans has made 17 appearances (one start) on the mound with a team-leading five saves and 30 strikeouts in 30.2 innings. >> Both Evans and his two-way teammate Davies are on the national watch for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award. Davies and Evans are the lone representatives from the ACC on the list. >> Evans, a year removed from a freshman All-America season in which he caught nearly every game for Tech, is proving his worth all over the diamond in 2012, and his college career seems to be following a similar path as current Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters, who in three seasons at Tech, was a career.359 hitter with 35 homers and collected a 3.83 ERA and 16 saves (tied for sixth on Tech s career list). >> Evans did everything for Tech in the 5-4 comeback win at No. 22 Virginia, hitting the game-winning homer with two outs in the 10th, then coming on for a two-out save in the bottom half. >> He went 1.1 innings of no-hit ball to record his fifth save in the 2-1 over No. 21 Miami that clinched an ACC Tournament berth for the Jackets. >> Evans hit.270 as a rookie with five homers and became Tech s first everyday freshman starting catcher since Jason Varitek in CRUZ CONTROL >> After spending his rookie season on the Flats as a reserve infielder, sophomore RHP Alex Cruz s move to the bullpen has paid big dividends for the Jackets. Cruz is 7-3 in a team-leading 29 appearances and sports the team s

Doug Creek Brad Rigby Chuck Crowder Cory Vance Deck McGuire Jerry Bass David Elder Marc Pisciotta Kyle Bakker Roger Kinard Kris Wilson Keith Fleming Jim Poole Buck Farmer Sam Drake Brent Colson John Davis Jed Bradley Kevin Brown Mike Sorrow lowest ERA of 2.00, which is third in the ACC. >> He was big in Greensboro last weekend, recording a pair of three-inning saves in the Florida State and Clemson victories -- those were the first two saves of his career. >> After a loss in his first collegiate decision, Cruz has been credited with seven of Tech last 19 wins -- four of his wins came in ACC play, including at No. 22 Virginia when he went a career-long 5 2/3 innings, and allowed just a run and three hits in Tech s 5-4 comeback win in 10 innings. BRANDON THOMAS ALSO EARNS FIRST TEAM NOD >> Junior LF Brandon Thomas established himself as one of the nation s top positional pro prospects this season, and capped the year by being named to the All-ACC First Team and to the ACC All-Tournament Team. >> Thomas leads the team in hitting at.352 and has had a flare for the dramatic this season, with two of his four game-winning RBI coming late in games. His RBI double versus Duke in the eighth with two outs was the game-winner as Buck Farmer pitched a complete-game, three-hitter in the 1-0 win. He ripped an eighth-inning RBI single at No. 6 North Carolina that broke a 2-2 tie en route to Tech s 4-2 win. >> He also had another RBI double in the ninth inning versus Florida State on April 6, that tied the game at 1-1 and forced extra innings (Tech lost 2-1 in 10 innings). >> He returned from a seven-game absence (hamstring) against Miami on the final weekend of the regular season and homered in the opener to extend his reached-base streak to 48 consecutive games dating back to the final two games of Thomas saw that incredible streak snapped with an 0-for-5 the next night. >> Thomas has reached base in every game he s played but one this season. THE PALKA SHIFT >> Sophomore RF Daniel Palka is hitting at a.310 clip over Georgia Tech s last 30 games, and more patience at the plate is paying off for the 2012 Second Team All-ACC honoree. >> After striking out 28 times against six walks over the first 30 games of the season, Palka has just 16 strikeouts, to go with 10 walks in the last 30 games, with an on-base percentage of.389 in that span. >> He s also authored some late-game magic: In the series-opener versus Clemson, Palka s two-run double during a three-run ninth inning allowed Tech to rally for the tie, and his solo home run to lead off the 13th inning was a walk-off game winner. >> In the series finale versus Charlotte, Palka recorded his third career walk-off hit with a two-out, 11th-inning single that scored Sam Dove in a 6-5 win. >> His sixth-inning home run was the difference in the regular-season finale, as Tech beat No. 21 Miami, 2-1, to clinch an ACC Tournament spot. >> Four of his five game-winning RBI this season have come in the last 40 days of the season. >> Palka carries a seven-game hitting streak into the NCAA Tournament, where last year he was 7-of-13 at the plate with two double, two home runs and five RBI during the Atlanta Regional. NOT YOUR AVERAGE WALK-ON >> Freshman walk-on 2B Thomas Smith had not seen any college action before March 29 s start versus Georgia Southern. But Smith gave Coach Hall no regrets as the Ft. Pierce, Fla. native had a hit, walked twice, scored and made a key defensive play late during a 10-5 win. >> Thirty-five consecutive starts later, Smith was named to the ACC All-Tournament Team at second base. >> In between, Smith has hit.333, with 17 runs, six doubles, 12 RBI, four steals, 13 walks, eight hit-by-pitches and an on-base percentage of.434 (which is second on the club behind Brandon Thomas.478). Defensively, he s committed just six errors in 167 chances (.964) and has aided in 24 double plays. >> Smith s first ACC series came versus Duke, and the new starting second baseman went 7-for-10 versus the Blue Devils with two RBI, two runs and two stolen bases. >> He scored the winning run in the Jackets 1-0 win over Duke, as he singled in the eighth, stole second and scored on Brandon Thomas RBI double and his RBI single in the nightcap gave Tech a 1-0 lead and stood as the game-winner in the 8-0 win. >> Smith went 2-for-4 and drove in a career-high four runs as Tech beat No. 6 North Carolina, 11-4, in the series opener on April 21. CLUTCH COLE >> With Tech in a potential do-or-die game in the regular season finale versus No. 21 Miami, freshman RHP Cole Pitts turned in his best career start by limiting the Hurricanes to just one run, two hits, one walk and five strikeouts in seven dominant innings. He was honored for his efforts as the ACC Pitcher of the Week. >> Pitts registered his first ACC win with his career-long start as the Jackets beat the Canes 2-1 to clinch the eighth and final ACC Tournament berth. The 6-foot-5 native of Moultrie, Ga., has allowed just five runs in his last 16 2/3 innings pitched. >> Pitts was solid again for the Jackets in the ACC Tournament, recording his second consecutive in the 17-5 victory over Virginia. Over his last four starts (including three against ranked teams), he s 2-0 with a 2.97 ERA in 21.2 innings, with seven walks and nine strikeouts. THE DEFENSIVE DIFFERENCE >> The Yellow Jackets are fielding.967 and have turned 30 double plays over the last 30 games, after posting a fielding percentage of just.954 over the first 30 games of the season. >> Much of the turnaround defensively can be traced to stability in the infield as Thomas Smith (2B), Mott Hyde (SS) and Sam Dove (3B) have started every one of the last 35 games in the same position, after Tech used eight different combinations at second-short-third over the first 25 games. >> Tech has turned 30 of its 55 double plays over the last 30 games. In the last 30 games, eight have been played error-free, and 14 others have been one-error games. Of the first 30 games, 16 were multi-error games. TECH S RPI REPORT >> Georgia Tech enters the NCAA tournament with an RPI of 23 (Warren Nolan) and a strength of schedule rated seventh nationally. >> The Jackets played 46 of 60 games this season versus teams ranked 100 or better in the RPI, including 13 wins over the RPI top 50. Tech had regular-season series wins at North Carolina (RPI No. 4), over Virginia Tech (36) and Georgia (54), and had four Top-25 wins in ACC play over the last 30 days of the regular season (two at North Carolina, one at Virginia and one versus Miami). >> Tech then swept through the ACC Tournament by beating Florida State (RPI No. 3), Virginia (7), Clemson (28) and Miami (11). >> Tech s progression in the RPI has been steady since week No. 8, increasing from 45, to 43, to 40, to 33, to 36, to 27, to 24 last week and now a season-high spot of 23.

THE LATE SHOW >> In five of the Yellow Jackets last nine victories of the regular season, the game-winning RBI had been recorded in the eighth inning or later. That included the 5-4 comeback win at No. 22 Virginia, as Tech scored twice in the ninth to force extra innings, then got Zane Evans solo homer with two outs in the top of the 10th. >> Tech is out-scoring the opposition after the sixth inning, including a advantage in the seventh. >> Tech is 3-1 in extra-inning games this year, and 6-1 over the last two seasons. >> In winning the series at No. 6 North Carolina, Tech knocked around the UNC staff for 36 hits and 21 runs in the three-game set. The 21 runs were the most allowed by the Heels in an ACC series this season, surpassing the 16 scored by Miami during the Hurricanes sweep in Coral Gables. >> Much of the damage came late, as the Jackets scored 13 of their 21 runs after the sixth inning. >> Tech followed the same script April 24 versus Georgia at Turner Field, as Mott Hyde s two-run blast in the seventh gave Tech a 3-2 lead and Kyle Wren s double in the ninth broke a 3-3 tie. >> Palka has been responsible for much of the Jackets late magic with a walk-off single to beat Charlotte in the 11th inning and the April 27th walk-off homer in the 13th inning Clemson. IT S ALL IN THE HITS... IT S ALL IN THE HITS >> The Ramblin Wreck has been one of the league s most potent offenses this season, currently hitting.296 as a team. Tech ended the regular season leading the ACC in hits (578), was fourth in runs (354), fourth in slugging (.427), second in home runs (41) and fourth in steals (77). >> This season, the Jackets are 30-3 when out-hitting the opposition. >> High-octane offenses are nothing new under head coach Danny Hall, whose teams have led or finished second in the ACC in batting or run production in 10 of his 18 years as Tech s head coach >> Tech is 22-9 when hitting a home run this season. Tech hit eight bombs, including Daniel Palka s walk-off solo shot in the 13th inning of the series-opener, in the three games versus Clemson. DOVE, THOMAS NAMED CAPITAL ONE ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT >> Junior LF Brandon Thomas and junior 3B Sam Dove have been named to the Capital One Academic All-District Team, marking the ninth-straight year a Georgia Tech baseball player has received mention. >> Both are now eligible for Academic All-America consideration. >> Thomas (management major), who holds a 3.66 cumulative GPA, and Dove (polymer, textile & fiber engineering major), who holds a 3.42 GPA, were each Academic All-ACC picks last season. EVANS, DAVIES NAMED TO JOHN OLERUD AWARD WATCH LIST >> Zane Evans and Jake Davies have been named to the official watch list for the 2012 John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award, which is presented annually by the College Baseball Hall of Fame to top two-way player in college. >> The pair are the lone representatives from ACC schools, and only Tech and the University of Florida had multiple representatives on the 20-player watch list. INJURY UPDATE >> Tech has dealt with a banged up bullpen all season, that includes RHP Luke Bard (arm), RHP Matthew Grimes (elbow), LHP Devin Stanton (arm), RHP DeAndre Smelter (shoulder). >> Bard, who entered the year as Tech s closer, earned a spot on the watch list for the Stopper of the Year award and had made three-straight Saturday starts before going down. Bard sports a team-best 0.99 ERA with 26 strikeouts in 27.1 innings, two saves and a 1-0 record. >> Grimes entered the season as the projected Saturday starter, while Stanton and Smelter were both being counted on as key contributors out of the bullpen. HALL GETS FIRST HALL OF FAMER >> The first of what may be many of Danny Hall s former players is entering the National Baseball Hall of Fame as Barry Larkin was elected in January. >> Hall was an assistant at Michigan, where Larkin played from During Larkin s press conference, he thanked Hall for helping him develop his fundamentals. TECH PARTNERS WITH FMM FOR HOPE FLIES HOME RUN CHALLENGE >> Tech has partnered with the Foundation for Mitochondrial Medicine for the first Hope Flies Home Run Challenge, inspired by Jackets baseball player Colby Wren. >> For every home run the Jackets hit during the 2012 season, supporters can make a donation from $1 up to $100 or more per home run with all proceeds benefiting the Foundation. The Jackets hit 50 home runs during the 2011 season, and organizers hope to raise $50,000 for the cause. >> Wren, a sophomore, was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease in his early teens and has to manage the disease s effects on his health every day. As an ambassador for the FMM, he is eager to raise awareness of the disease, so that the increasingly numbers of diagnosed individuals -- 1 in 2,500 and growing -- can get treatments. Currently, there are no treatments available.

31 Head Coach Danny Hall Having spent his entire coaching career involved with winning programs, Danny Hall s tenure at Georgia Tech has been his most successful, as he is the all-time winningest baseball coach in Yellow Jacket history with 779 victories at the school. He has led Tech to the NCAA Tournament on 16 occasions and guided the Yellow Jackets to the College World Series in 1994, 2002 and 2006, the only head coach in the program s storied history to reach the promised land of Omaha. Hall enters this 19th season on the Flats just 13 victories shy of becoming the 46th Division-I baseball coach all-time to reach 1,000 career wins. He s in the Top 15 among active Division-I coaches in winning percentage (.679), and is Top 20 among active D-I coaches in number of victories (987). Under Hall, Georgia Tech has averaged 43.3 wins per season, the 10th-highest figure in the nation over the last 18 years. In the last decade alone he directed the Yellow Jackets to two College World Series appearances, three Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament titles (2000, 2003, 2005) and four ACC regular season championships (2000, 2004, 2005, 2011) while averaging 43 wins per season. Since Hall s arrival at Georgia Tech in 1994, a staggering 97 Yellow Jackets have been selected in the Major League Baseball Draft a total of 107 times, while 46 MLB Draftees have chosen to attend Georgia Tech to play for the Yellow Jacket skipper. Twelve of his student-athletes have been selected in either the first or supplemental rounds, while he has coached 49 players that have been taken in the first 10 rounds of the MLB draft. Hall s no-nonsense, professional approach to baseball has given his players the fundamentals they need to be successful after leaving Georgia Tech, as is indicated in the number of his former players that have appeared on Major League rosters. Current major leaguers Brandon Boggs of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Marlon Byrd of the Chicago Cubs, Tyler Greene of the St. Louis Cardinals, Micah Owings of the Cincinnati Reds, Eric Patterson of the Detroit Tigers, Mark Teixeira of the New York Yankees, Jason Varitek of the Boston Red Sox, Matt Wieters of the Baltimore Orioles, Blake Wood of the Kansas City Royals and Mike Nickeas of the New York Mets all played for the Yellow Jacket skipper. Since his first head coaching job in 1988, Hall has coached no fewer than 24 players that have appeared on Major League rosters. The success of Hall s former players in professional baseball is molded by their accomplishments at Tech, as his Yellow Jacket teams have advanced to 16 NCAA Regionals in his 18 years at the school. Georgia Tech has posted 40 NCAA victories since his arrival in 1994, winning regionals in 1994, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and super regionals in 2002 and The Yellow Jackets have posted a.500 or better record in Atlantic Coast Conference play every year since his arrival, and have finished third or better in the league in 11 of his 18 seasons. Georgia Tech has been ranked as the top team in the country six times for a total of 22 weeks under Hall, and in five of the last 10 seasons. Hall became Georgia Tech s winningest coach in 2005, earning his 505th victory at the school March 27 at Miami. His Georgia Tech teams have posted a (.670) record in 18 years and he owns a (.679) record in his 24 seasons as a head coach. Hall has also led the Yellow Jackets to a (.644) record in ACC regular season games. Each of Hall s Tech teams has been powered by a potent offense, leading or finishing second in the ACC in batting or run production in 10 of his 18 years as the Yellow Jackets head coach. Tech established a school record with a.342 team batting average in 2000, and then eclipsed that mark with a.347 clip the following season. Hall has had 87 players earn all-conference honors in his 18 years, while his players have received 32 All-America nods since He has coached two National Players of the Year, two National Freshmen of the Year, one ACC Player of the Year, one ACC Pitcher of the Year and three ACC Rookies of the Year. The Yellow Jacket head coach had a school-record 10 players selected in the 2005 Major League Baseball draft and matched that total just two years later when 10 more were selected in the 2007 MLB Draft. Over the last five years under Hall, Tech has had 43 players selected in the draft.
