Georgia Tech clinches ACC regular‑season crown with dominant sweep of Boston College

Yellow Jackets set program records in a 15‑2 run‑rule victory

Georgia Tech closed out its regular season in spectacular fashion, routing Boston College 15‑2 in a run‑rule decision that left the Yellow Jackets’ fans chanting well into the night.

A historic finish to the regular season

The victory was more than a win; it was a statement. The team posted the most lopsided sweep over a Top 25 opponent in school history and tied the record for the most ACC victories in a 30‑game conference schedule, matching the 2015 Louisville benchmark.

Every spot in the lineup reached base, and six hitters logged multiple hits, underscoring a collective offensive onslaught. Kent Schmidt went 3‑for‑3 with two walks and two RBI, while Jarren Advincula extended his hitting streak to a career‑best 22 games and recorded his 100th hit of the season.

On the mound, Jackson Blakely delivered five solid innings, allowing just one earned run while striking out five. Relievers Carson Kerce, Drew Burress and Justin Shadek combined for four shutout innings, preserving the lead and showcasing depth in the bullpen.

The sweep also highlighted individual milestones. Vahn Lackey added three RBI and his 15th home run of the year, and Carson Kerce’s 2‑for‑3 performance included a triple and a walk that sparked the rally.

Looking ahead to the ACC Tournament

With the regular season now in the books, Georgia Tech enters the ACC Tournament as the top seed, a position that reflects both the team’s dominance and the confidence of its coaching staff. The Yellow Jackets will look to carry this momentum into the postseason, where the same depth and firepower that defined the regular season could make them a formidable contender.
