THE FLATS -- Georgia Tech's Buck Farmer, Zane Evans and Daniel Palka have been named first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference and Kyle Wren second-team All-ACC for the 2013 season, as Commissioner John Swofford announced the baseball all-conference team on Monday.

Farmer's selection marks the sixth straight season that a Yellow Jacket pitcher has earned All-Conference mention. Farmer becomes the first pitcher in school history to garner three All-ACC awards, and is just the fourth Tech pitcher to earn first-team honors in consecutive seasons, joining Jim Poole (1987-88), Chuck Crowder (1998-99) and Deck McGuire (2010-11).

Evans is the eighth Tech catcher all-time to earn All-ACC mention, and the first since Matt Wieters was a first-team pick in 2007. Other Tech catchers to be named All-ACC include Jason Varitek (four times), current assistant coach Bryan Prince (twice) and Wieters (twice).

ATLANTA – Phillip Goolsby considers his half-million dollar windfall the best accident ever.

Goolsby of Atlanta intended to try his luck playing last week’s mammoth multi-state jackpot games, but walked away with a $500,000 top prize from the Georgia Lottery instant game Jumbo Jumbo Bucks.

“I’m pretty lucky,” said Goolsby, 32, as he claimed his prize at Georgia Lottery headquarters in Atlanta recently.

Goolsby purchased his lucky ticket from a Georgia Lottery Instant Ticket Vending Machine the Publix at 950 West Peachtree Street NW in Midtown Atlanta.

“I put in $20, but I intended to insert $10,” he explained. “I couldn’t get change, so I chose the ticket and scratched it in the car.”

The lucky winner couldn’t believe his eyes.

“I didn’t believe it. I just looked at it,” Goolsby said. “I just wasn’t sure it was real.”

Working in facilities management, Goolsby intends to purchase a new home and invest the remainder.
