The University of Illinois – Chicago Flames came to Atlanta to complete a two season home and home series. Only two games could be played due to weather in Chicago last Spring, and resulted in a low scoring split. UIC came in at 6-2, matching the Jackets. The all time series record favors Tech 9-2.
Regular Friday starter Xzavion Curry took the mound against Junior RHP Reid Birlingmair. Curry beat Birlingmair in game one of last year’s DH, pitching 8 shutout innings. He wouldn’t quite match that today, but came pretty close and got his third win of the season thanks to some timely Jacket hitting.
