Georgia Tech’s baseball squad clinched a berth in the NCAA Atlanta Regional final after a decisive 9-3 win over Oklahoma, a game that tested the team’s resilience as much as its talent.
A Rain‑Soaked Battle
The contest was interrupted by a sudden rain delay, but the Yellow Jackets refused to let the weather dampen their momentum. After the pause, they regrouped and pushed through to secure the victory.
Brosius’ Breakout Night
Parker Brosius was the offensive engine, driving in four runs and launching two home runs that swung the game in Georgia Tech’s favor. His eighth career homer came just 22 days after graduation, underscoring his rapid impact on the program.
Vahn Lackey added a solo shot in the fourth inning, and Brosius followed with a two‑run blast in the sixth to break a 3‑3 tie. The Jackets then exploded for three runs in the seventh, capped by a sacrifice fly from Will Baker that scored Ryan Zuckerman, sealing a 9‑3 lead.
Pitching and Strategy
Tate McKee anchored the mound with five solid innings, earning the win and limiting Oklahoma’s offense to just three runs. His performance exemplified the disciplined approach the Jackets have cultivated throughout the season.
Looking ahead, Georgia Tech will face the winner of the The Citadel versus Oklahoma matchup in the regional final on Sunday at 6 p.m. The team enters the championship game with a 5‑4 record in home regional finals and a season tally of 50 wins, the sixth such milestone in program history.
Beyond the scoreboard, the victory marks a historic offensive year: the Jackets have amassed 135 home runs, the most in school history, and sit just ten runs shy of the NCAA record for runs in a single season in the BBCOR era.
