#LEADOFF
>> Georgia Tech brings a seven-game homestand to a close this weekend, hosting No. 22 Miami in a crucial early-season series between Coastal Division foes.

>> Injuries to Friday and Saturday starters Jonathan King and Cole Pitts have forced the Yellow Jackets to shake up their rotation this weekend. Matthew Grimes will start the finale, while Zac Ryan and Devin Stanton will make their first career ACC starts.

>> Junior Thomas Smith carries a career-best 12-game hitting streak into the weekend and the infielder has pushed his average to .345 (11th in the ACC). His 12-game hit streak is the second-longest in the ACC.

>> The Yellow Jackets have hit seven home runs this season — two each from Smith and Mott Hyde — and Tech is 5-0 in games when it goes yard.

>> Freshman catcher Arden Pabst has been strong defensively, and the rookie has thrown out 50% of potential base-stealers this season — 6 of 12.

>> Tech beat Miami, 8-5, to win the 2012 ACC Championship.
