Georgia native comes home following a season in the SEC



THE FLATS –
Georgia Tech softball and coach Aileen Moralesannounced the signing of South Carolina transfer infielder Brionna Condon to the roster on Thursday.



A native of Woodstock, Ga., Condon returns to her home state with SEC experience in her first collegiate season. The incoming Yellow Jacket made four appearances for the Gamecocks, picking up the first hit of her college career in a blowout victory over Tennessee Tech. In the field, the infielder is yet to make an error with a flawless fielding percentage.



Prior to entering the collegiate ranks, Condon competed at the varsity level for four seasons with Etowah High School. As a career .400 hitter for the Eagles, the infielder was named the team MVP in 2021 and defensive MVP in 2019. As a sophomore, Condon earned All-Region and All-State honors following an All-County team selection as a freshman. On the travel circuit, she led her team to Premier Girls Fastpitch runner-up finishes twice. Overall, Condon concluded her high school career ranked as the No. 29 player in the country.



Condon becomes the second summer transfer alongside Tiffany Domingue to join Georgia Tech’s 2023 signing class that was ranked 30th by Extra Inning Softball in the fall, with all three incoming freshmen being ranked in the top 50 of the same publication’s 2023 Extra Elite 100. The class provides depth to different levels of the field composed of one pitcher, one outfielder and three infielders.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Georgia Tech head coach Danny Hall has been selected for induction into the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Hall of Fame in 2024, the ABCA announced on Wednesday.



Hall joins the 10-member Class of 2024 that also includes Cal Bailey (West Virginia), Pat McQuaid (Nova High School), Brian O’Connor (Virginia), Tim Pettorini (The College of Wooster (Ohio)), John Vodenlich (Wisconsin-Whitewater), Jim Wells (Alabama), Wayne Welton (Chelsea High School), Jeff Willis (LSU Eunice), and former Tech coach Jim Morris (Miami (Fla.)).

His 1,170 wins are the most in Tech history and the most among any active NCAA coach in the country. His .649 winning percentage on The Flats ranks second among Tech coaches with more than 700 games coached, behind only Morris (.674). Under Hall, the Yellow Jackets have compiled 15 40-win seasons and four 50-win seasons, including the school record 52-win campaign in 2002.



He has led the Jackets to its only three College World Series appearances (1994, 2002, 2006), 23 NCAA Regional appearances, and six NCAA Super Regional appearances. He’s been named ACC Coach of the Year four times, winning seven ACC regular season/divisional championships and five ACC Tournament championships. He was also named the Sporting News’ National Coach of the Year in 1997.



Hall’s student-athletes have achieved tremendous success, having 139 Yellow Jackets drafted, including 15 first-round picks, and 32 of them playing in the Big Leagues. His players have earned 120 all-America honors, 140 all-ACC selections, and 28 freshman all-America awards. Not limited to just success on the playing field, Hall’s Jackets have also earned 19 academic all-American honors with more than 200 student-athletes named to the ACC academic honor roll.



Hall’s 36-year career as a head coach also includes an ultra-successful stint at Kent State (1988-93). In just six seasons, he led the Golden Flashes to 208 wins, including back-to-back Mid-American Conference Championships and NCAA Tournament appearances. He garnered MAC Coach of the Year honors in both of his final two seasons after winning more games than any other MAC school from 1989-93. During his tenure, he sent 18 Kent State players on to professional baseball.
