The Yellow Jackets also had a new school-record 54 wins and its highest final ranking at No. 16 in school history. Amongst the dozen or so accomplishments under the direction of Perkins in 2007 were 96 home runs, surpassing the school-record 75 in 2006. That mark led the nation and finished as the ninth-best all-time total in NCAA history. The Jackets set a new ACC record with 451 runs scored, tied for 11th-best all-time in NCAA history. It also went on to set new league season records in batting average (.322), total bases (1,027), RBI (416) and slugging percentage (.536). The Yellow Jackets tallied eight wins over top 25 opponents, including two over College World Series participants Baylor and DePaul. Another first for the softball program was two All-Americans in the same year.
