Mike Trapani is in his fourth year
in the Georgia Tech program. As a sophomore, he filled in at third base when
teammate Wes Hodges was injured and batted .419 with four homers and 17 RBI in
79 at-bats on the season. In high school, Trapani went 25-2 as starting
quarterback at Marist School in Atlanta. He'll be checking in each week with
reports on Georgia Tech and the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Offense Finally Gets Going
against Terps
Tuesday, March
29: Western Carolina 8, Georgia Tech 5
After the great
comeback win against Miami, we seemed to be a little slow on this night as we
just couldn’t seem to get anything going as we fell to the Catamounts. We
didn’t play well defensively either, which led to a four-run inning, and the
bats were just not awake.
Friday, April 1:
Georgia Tech 13, Maryland 8
We were winning
13-4 after four innings when the game was called due to rain and we finished up
on Saturday.
Saturday, April
2: Maryland 2, Georgia Tech 1
After we finished
up Game 1, we just couldn’t seem to get anything going again offensively. Lee
Hyde pitched his best game of the year by far and we just couldn’t seem to score
any runs for him. I was very impressed with how he pitched and how he battled
all throughout the night. But we had to tip our hat to their pitcher because he
never seemed to give in all night. He just stayed on the corners all night and
never seemed to make a mistake.
Sunday, April 3:
Georgia Tech 24, Maryland 4
Blake Wood pitched
another great game for us and our offense definitely woke up very quickly as we
put up 24 runs against the Terrapins. Tyler Greene, my hero/the future, had a
tremendous game with eight RBI. He hit a bases-clearing double early in the
game and then yet another grand slam later on to add to his total. He finished
off the day with an infield single driving in his eighth run of the game. This
week we play Auburn on Tuesday night in Auburn and then face Winthrop for a
three-game series this weekend. I’m very excited about the Auburn game because
I grew up a die-hard Auburn football fan and a lot of my good friends go to
school there. Not to mention, the scenery at the games is always worth the
trip. Plus, we definitely owe them a little payback as they came back and beat
us in our park two weeks ago.
