The Yellow Jackets, winners of 11 straight games and 18 of 20, advance out of regional play for the first time in school history.

Tech will host either No. 3 Washington or Massachusetts in a Super Regional next weekend at Mewborn Field. The winner of the best-of-three-game series will move onto the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., later this month.
