2004 GEORGIA TECH SOFTBALL PAGE 3 2004 outlook can create their own destiny this year.” A New Era Begins In order to get ready for the Atlantic Coast Conference, After two of the most successful seasons in school history, the which added a sixth team for softball in NC State this year, the Georgia Tech softball program welcomes its seventh and newest head Yellow Jackets will face one of the toughest schedules in the coach in Ehren Earleywine. Earleywine joined the Tech staff as the top country. Tech will play against 10 teams that made the NCAA assistant in 2002, guiding the Yellow Jackets to a school record 52 Regional Tournament in 2003 and three-Alabama, Arizona and wins and one win shy of the College World Series. Last season, Louisiana-Lafayette-that advanced to the College World Series. Earleywine was part of a Tech squad that made a second straight “I would be real surprised if this wasn’t the hardest sched- appearance in the NCAA Regional Tournament, finishing fourth in the ule that Tech has ever had. That definitely sets us up in terms Tuscaloosa Regional. of preparing for the ACC, NCAA Regional Tournament and This year, rookie head coach Earleywine wants his team to take hopefully the World Series. We’ve taken on the philosophy that the next step. in order to be the best, you have to play the best. That’s how “I think after having been to the Regional Tournament the our schedule has been arranged and we look forward to the past two years, the obvious next step is going to the World challenges.” Series,” said Earleywine. “Obviously, winning an ACC Champi- Here’s a look at Tech position by position: onship is our primary goal, getting back to NCAA Regionals is number two and winning the regional will be the third.” PITCHERS The Jackets have a wealth of leadership returning to this After breaking the school career and single-season records year’s lineup, led by five seniors-Tara Knudsen (Thornton, in strikeouts, junior Jessica Sallinger (Kennesaw, Ga.) returns Colo.), Soraya Reddick (Tampa, Fla.), Erin Voeltz (Westlake, as the top pitcher for the Jackets. Sallinger garnered All-ACC Calif.), Tasha Waugh (Talala, Okla.) and Sara Wissmann (El honors last season after leading the league in strikeouts (337), Dorado Hills, Calif.). finishing 11th in the nation in strikeouts per game (9.5) and 36th “The strength of this team is experience,” said Earleywine. in Earned Run Average (1.26). “We have a pretty solid junior and senior class. Those athletes “Jessica is a proven collegiate pitcher,” said Earleywine. all have two years of regional tournament experience. They “She was the ACC Rookie of the Year in 2002 and an All-ACC performer in 2003. She has all the tools. I think her attitude is much improved this year and she’s ready to accept the respon- sibility of leading this team on and off the field.” Jessica Sallinger Another part of the pitching tandem for Tech will be Voeltz. She finished last year with a record of 13-6 and an ERA of 2.53. Voeltz tallied her first perfect game of her collegiate career last year in the regional tournament against Southern University on May 15, 2003. “Erin is a senior with a lot of experience,” said Earleywine. “She did not allow a single earned run this fall. The biggest improvement for her is the development of a change up. Credit has to go to our pitching coach, John Bargfeldt, for helping her along with that development. By adding a change up, she has really gone to the next level.” Freshman Sarah Wood (Marietta, Ga.) will also see some time on the mound for the Yellow Jackets. A 2003 graduate of Walton High School, Wood fired 52 consecutive scoreless innings in the state playoffs a year ago, earning all-state, all- county and all-area honors. “Sarah has a great deal of potential,” said Earleywine. “She used four or five pitches in high school and we’re asking her to cut down on the amount pitches and focus on trying to master two or three. If she can do that, then she will be tough for opposing hitters to handle.”

CATCHERS Heading up the duties behind the plate will be Waugh. She split time with All-ACC catcher Lindsay Wood last year, starting in 37 games. She hit five home runs for the Jackets last year and only allowed three passed balls. Waugh will also see action as the designated player and first baseman for the Jackets. “Waugh brings experience,” said Earleywine. “She is the team mom. I would like for her to become a little more verbal and take more command of this team and I feel that she is ready to do that.” Sharing time with Waugh at catcher will be sophomore Lauren Schlechte (St. Louis, Mo.). Schlechte has one of the strongest arms on the team and is one of the more versatile players. PAGE 4 2004 GEORGIA TECH SOFTBALL 2004 outlook post-season with a .381 batting average in the NCAA Regional Tara Knudsen and head coach Ehren Earleywine and ACC Tournaments. She was named to the ACC all- tournament team. “Katie was moved from first over to second base where she played all through high school,” said Earleywine. “In the fall she was a little uncomfortable because she had not been there in awhile, but she settled in and did an excellent job for us by the end of the fall.”

THIRD BASE Schlechte will start at third base when she is not perform- ing duties behind the plate. She carried a .941 fielding percent- age over at the hot corner last year, starting in 28 games. “Lauren is a great defensive player with a very strong arm,” said Earleywine. “She will be wearing many hats for us this year but we feel that she is capable to play anywhere we need her to.” Also seeing time at third base for the Jackets will be converted outfielder junior Kirin Kumar (Santa Ana, Calif.). Kumar hit .238 in 2003, starting in 55 games in the outfield. “Kirin has done well with the transition from the outfield to third base, where she has never played before,” said Earleywine. “She still needs work over there, but her short game coverage is excellent.”

SHORTSTOP Knudsen headlines the shortstop position for the Yellow Jackets. She was recently drafted by San Antonio in the 2004 National Pro Fastpitch draft held in December. Knudsen led the ACC in home runs for the second time in as many years last season and earned All-ACC honors for the second con- secutive season. “We really saw a huge improvement this fall in Schlechte’s “Tara is a returning All-American,” said Earleywine. “She is overall attitude,” said Earleywine. “She established a certain a great defender and hits a ton for us. She has already made level of comfort behind the plate and kind of settled into that her mark on the Tech record books and should continue to do role. She will improve throughout the spring because she has so this spring.” so much upside.” Backing Waugh and Schlechte up behind the plate will be OUTFIELD junior Liz Bartle (Coral Springs, Fla.). Bartle saw time for Tech Wissmann and Reddick both return as starters in the as the designated player a year ago and should do the same in outfield for the Jackets. Wissmann started in 56 games for 2004. She drove in eight runs a year ago and had one home Tech last year, ranking second on the team with eight stolen run in 70 at bats. bases in 10 attempts. “Liz had an extremely good fall,” said Earleywine. “She just Reddick ranked third on the Tech squad with a .248 batting needs to be able to take her ‘A’ game from practice to the average and started in 57 games for the Yellow Jackets. She game. If she can accomplish that, she will have a good chance committed one error in 68 chances last year. of hitting in the four or five hole for us.” “When you mention Sara and Soraya, you’re talking about two girls with a ton of experience,” said Earleywine. “They both FIRST BASE have speed and good range in the outfield.” Incoming freshman Kristina Hull (Colorado Springs, Colo.) Sophomore Amy Hosier (Lakewood, Colo.) should be the is the projected starter for Tech at first base. Hull was named third starting outfielder for the Rambling Wreck. Hosier saw Player of the Year at Doherty High School as a senior and limited action last season, starting in nine games for Tech. garnered all-area and all-county honors. “Amy saw a little bit of playing time as a freshman,” said “Hull is a good defensive first baseman and is a good Earleywine. “We’ve added to her game, with the ability to slap, target for the infielders to throw to,” said Earleywine. “She has a bunt for a hit and swing away. We believe with those three lot of enthusiasm and creates life on the infield.” elements she will be a positive contributor to our offense.” A group of players that could see action at first base as Other players that could see time out in the outfield will be well will be Waugh, Sallinger, Wood and Bartle. Kumar and Hull. “There are a whole slew of players that can play this “We could be playing musical chairs out there,” said position for us this year. Many of them still need some work Earleywine. “We’re just going to wait and see who is swinging over there, but if they are hitting well, then we are going to have a hot bat and who comes ready to play everyday.” to find a place for them.”

SECOND BASE Taking over second base for the Yellow Jackets will be junior Katie Donovan (Marietta, Ga.). Donovan led Tech in the 2004 GEORGIA TECH SOFTBALL PAGE 5 MEET THE YELLOW JACKETS

PAGE 26 2004 GEORGIA TECH SOFTBALL THE ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE Consistency. It’s the mark of true ex- cellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate ath- letics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impos- sible to maintain a high level of consistency.

Now in its 51st year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation.

“I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech and a Hell of an Engineer...” It was Sept. 30, 1961. The opponent was Rice University for the home opener. For the first time, the official Rambling Wreck car was unveiled to 43,501 fans at Grant Field, leading the Georgia Tech football team onto the field. It has happened at every home game since. The event did not establish a new tradition, but it cemented one. The restored 1930 Model A Ford Sport Coupe was Tech's first official Rambling Wreck, and it was an instant success. Since that time, the Rambling Wreck car has joined a much older tradition—the Yellow Jacket—as the official school mascot. The current Wreck is the last in a line of distinctive white and gold cars on campus. While there was no official Rambling Wreck before 1961, several fraternities took turns driving various such ve- hicles. Tech administrators decided in the late 1950s that the school needed an official car that would be known forever as the Rambling Wreck. Vice President and Dean of Students James Dull began a search for a pre-1940 vintage model, and finally found one—parked in front of his apartment build- ing. The owner, Capt. Ted J. Johnson, a Delta Air Line pilot, had just finished restoring the 1930 Ford Cabriolet Sport Coupe, which he intended to give to his son as a gift. In May 1961, Johnson decided to let Tech have the car for $1,000. He later returned the purchase price of the Wreck to the Athletic Association as a contribution to the Alexander-Tharpe Fund, fulfilling a desire to go on record as having given the Rambling Wreck to Georgia Tech. The Wreck was again completely restored in 1982 under the supervision of Tech alumnus Pete George, manager of the Ford assembly plant in Hapeville, Ga. THE YELLOW JACKET The Yellow Jacket nickname and mascot are two of the most beloved trademarks of Georgia Tech athletic teams, but many conflicting accounts exist as to the origins and beginnings of the Yellow Jacket. One thing that is clear, however, is that the nickname did not grow out of the familiar six- legged insect, but that the mascot, known as “Buzz,” grew out of the nickname. As far as can be determined, the first reference to Tech students as “Yellowjackets” appeared in the Atlanta Constitu- tion in 1905 and came into common usage at that time. Historians say the name, spelled as one word, was first used to describe the fans who attended Tech athletic events, dressed in yellow coats and jackets. The actual mascot was conceived at a later date, still undetermined. Other common nicknames which have applied to Georgia Tech teams include Engineers, which is still used by some writers; the Techs, the first known nickname which was phased out sometime around 1910; and the Blacksmiths, which was common between 1902 and 1904 and is thought to be an invention of sportswriters. The Golden Tornado is another nickname believed to be created by sportswriters. In 1917, Coach John Heisman led Tech's football team to its first national championship. Tech was the first team from the South to earn the honor, which was bestowed by the International News Service. Any subsequent Tech squad which approached that level of excellence was referred to as the Golden Tornado. The nickname was used as late as 1929, when Tech defeated California in the Rose Bowl. THE RAMBLIN’ WRECK FIGHT SONG

I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer, A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of an engineer, Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear, I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer.

Oh, if I had a daughter, sir, I’d dress her in White and Gold, And put her on the campus, to cheer the brave and bold. But if I had a son, sir, I’ll tell you what he’d do. He would yell, “To Hell with Georgia,” like his daddy used to do.

THE RAMBLIN’ WRECK SONG Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum and sugar three thousand It is doubtful that anything has ever meant as much to an American col- lege as has this Tech fight song, a curious mixture of words and music that pounds, grew out of an old folk ballad, “The Sons of the Gamboliers.” Since the early A college bell to put it in and a clapper to stir it around. 1900’s, it has helped make Tech’s name known around the world. I’d drink to all good fellows who come from far and near. The late Howard D.

In 1910, Michael A.

The fame of the song spread to such proportions that in 1959 it was sung When we meet her, our team is sure to beat her by Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev at their historic face-to-face meet- ing in Moscow. OLD GOLD AND WHITE Down on the old farm there will be no sound In the fall of 1891, before Georgia Tech organized a football team of its own, a game was scheduled between Auburn and Georgia. Due to the rivalry Till our bow-wows rip through the air established in baseball games between Tech and Georgia (which remains strong after more than 100 years), the Tech students were invited to the game to cheer, of course, for Auburn. When the battle is over, Georgia’s team will be found At a mass meeting, the students appointed a committee to recommend colors to be worn and cheers to be used at the game. The committee sug- gested white and gold, and about 200 students attended the game wearing With the Yellow Jackets swarming around. school colors for the first time. GEORGE P. BURDELL In 1927, a mythical student named George P. Burdell appeared on class rosters, registration forms and grade reports. He has since become one of the Institute's most notable students. Burdell was the creation of student Ed Smith. While filling out an appli- cation form, Smith was struck with the impish idea of enrolling a non-existent student. He even turned in separate exam papers for Burdell, convincing pro- fessors that George was a student in good standing. Burdell received a bachelor’s and later a master’s degree from Tech. Since Smith’s graduation, other students have kept George P. Burdell alive at Tech and elsewhere. In the spring of 1969, the first quarter that Tech used completely computerized registration, Burdell beat the system by registering for every course the school offered—more than 3,000 credit hours. RAT CAPS Tech has several customs especially created for its freshmen. One of the oldest and proudest freshman traditions, wearing Tech’s gold-colored rat cap, originated with the ANAK society in 1915. The term "rat" originally referred to first-year military students. The rat cap has been a distinctive symbol of membership in Tech’s fresh- man class. Freshmen decorate their rat caps by writing winning football scores upright, losing scores upside down, and tie scores sideways.

Prior to the 1995 season, a new public address system was installed and the outfield fence was moved in, creating space for home and visitor bullpens and two batting cages. The Yellow Jackets also enjoy an outstanding locker room facil- ity in Alexander Memorial Coliseum at McDonald's Center. The locker room was given a facelift as part of an 11-month, $10 million renova- tion of the building, which was the site of the boxing competition dur- ing the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games.

The home of the Yellow Jacket softball team is Glenn Field, lo- cated near the Georgia Tech campus just off 14th and Mecaslin Streets. With a seating capacity of up to 500 spectators, Glenn Field has been home to the Tech softball program since the inception of fastpitch play in 1987.
