The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Cal Poly Mustangs will face off to open the 2027 college baseball season.

From February 19 to February 21, the Mustangs will travel to Atlanta and play Georgia Tech in their home ballpark, Russ Chandler Stadium. The Yellow Jackets were an excellent team at home in 2026 with a 32-5 record. On the road, Cal Poly had a 15-11 record in 2026.

Both Georgia Tech and Cal Poly were solid teams a season ago and major postseason threats. This makes this weekend's series a highly anticipated one on college baseball's opening weekend in 2027.

A look back at a historic season for Georgia Tech

In 2026, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were one of the best teams in college baseball. They finished with a 50-11 overall record and a 26-5 record in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play.

The Yellow Jackets won the ACC regular season title for the second straight season. They also won the ACC Tournament title in Charlotte. It was the first time they won the ACC Tournament since 2014.

The incredible regular season earned Georgia Tech a spot as the number two national seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. However, the Yellow Jackets' season would end in the Atlanta Regional. The Oklahoma Sooners took down Georgia Tech in the regional championship and would go on to win the 2026 national championship as well.

Nonetheless, it was a historic season for Georgia Tech baseball and a great start for head coach James Ramsey. He is entering his second season as the head coach of the Yellow Jackets.

Cal Poly made it to a super regional in 2026

The Cal Poly Mustangs also had quite the 2026 college baseball season. They finished with a 39-24 overall record and a 22-8 record in Big West play.

The Mustangs won the Big West regular season title for the first time since 2014. They also won the Big West Tournament title for the second straight year. Therefore, Cal Poly made it to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season. It was the first time the Mustangs made it to the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons since 2013 and 2014.

The Mustangs fared well in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. They grabbed wins over Virginia Tech and Saint Mary's to win the Los Angeles Regional championship. This led to Cal Poly making its first-ever appearance in a super regional.

In the super regional round, the Mustangs traveled east to play the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Morgantown Super Regional. The Mountaineers swept Cal Poly in that super regional and made it to the College World Series.

Coming up just shy of making it to Omaha leaves Cal Poly feeling hungry for its first-ever College World Series appearance in 2027. Playing Georgia Tech to open the season will be a great test for the Mustangs.
