Although they had one of the 20 strongest schedules in college baseball, Tech finished the season with a 33-25 record and secured the No. 10 seed in the ACC tournament with a 15-15 record in conference play. The Jackets played in a pool alongside the Virginia Cavaliers and Florida State, where the winner of the pool would move onto a single elimination bracket. Tech could not secure wins against either the Seminoles or the Cavaliers and headed back to Atlanta, hoping they showed enough to compete in the College World Series (CWS). Fortunately, Tech was selected and earned a berth in the Athens regional alongside the University of Georgia Bulldogs, University of North Carolina Wilmington Seahawks and the Army Golden Knights.
