His .407 on-base percentage was third-best among starters... Fielded at a .967 clip and aided in 26 of Tech's 35 double plays turned over the final 39 games of the season... Tech's fielding percentage was .935 in the first 25 games without Smith in the lineup, and .966 over the final 39 games with Smith... Turned in a memorable college debut, starting at second base vs. Georgia Southern (3/28) and reached base three times (single and two walks), scored, and made a key defensive play for the final out in the seventh inning with Tech leading 8-3 and the bases loaded for GSU... Stayed hot in the Duke series, starting all three games and going 7-for-10 with two RBI, two runs, a walk and two steals...
