[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 424409, member: 2843"] Unfortunately... Ga Tech did not "finish strong" over the last half of the season. It was very nice to get a series win over Duke (a top 10 team) and one of the better teams in the conference. The one thing that will haunt this team in hindsight... is what is still inexplicable to me (unless fluky is an explanation)... but massive failure on the road in conference. Ga Tech was swept twice on the road and never won a road series. ACC road record was 3-12. Hard to believe/understand it. In contrast, Ga Tech won every home series... with one sweep. ACC home record 11-4. I'd say 2 more conference road wins would be enough to have us in the NCAA tournament. Obviously... other wins would have been nice too (i.e UGA). The major disappointment (especially when compared to 2017) is how the team just could not take full advantage of the huge improvement with the starting pitching. A mildly better bullpen and more consistent "timely" hitting would have been enough to capture those few wins I mentioned above. So close.... yet.... ...the bright side. Season is not over. The same team with the great starting pitching and solid offense can actually string together the wins next week at ACCT to win the whole thing. Not suggesting we're in a favorable position... but I am pretty sure UNC knows they cannot just roll the ball out there and beat us. [/QUOTE]
