The second weekend of February was a dreary one in Atlanta. Rain came in and out with never ending cloudy skies and cold temperatures in the 40s. While it was as bad as weather can get in Atlanta, Tech’s softball season began as good as it could.
The Jackets hosted the 22nd Buzz Classic, which included Boise State, Radford, and neighboring Georgia State. Tech played Boise State in a doubleheader on Feb. 12, Radford in a doubleheader on the Feb. 13 and concluded with a single game against State on Feb. 14.
Since the 2020 season was shortened as the COVID-19 pandemic began during last softball season, every player was granted an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA, which helped Tech retain depth in their lineup going into the 2021 season.
