Preseason[edit]

The Yellow Jackets opened their season with three games at home against a pair of opponents: St. John's and Fordham. Georgia Tech was originally scheduled to also face Liberty, but the game was cancelled due to impending cold weather.[3] The Yellow Jackets opened their season on February 13 against regularly-scheduled opponent St. John's, and defeated the Red Storm, 17–3. Georgia Tech scored six runs in the first inning in the victory.[4]
