Hiroshi Tai wins National Championship, Tech finishes season strong
When redshirt-sophomore Hiroshi Tai successfully completed his up-and-down, sinking a five-foot par putt on the par-four ninth hole in the final round of the NCAA National Championships, he was unsure if it would be enough to win the title. Just earlier, Tai looked as if he was going to cruise to an individual victory, but a major hiccup on the par-three eighth hole resulted in a triple bogey to shrink his four shot lead to one. He nervously watched his opponents for another two hours, but his anxiety turned into relief as Tai captured the individual NCAA Championship. He joined three other Jackets, Watts Gunn (1927), Charlie Yates (1934), and Troy Matteson (2002) as individual champions.
GT Baseball end of season recap
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. The Jackets came within one inning of winning their regional but fell short in the end. Despite the disappointing season finale, the Jackets made an exciting return to the CWS qualifiers after one season out of it.
