Georgia Tech Beats Miami to Reach ACC Baseball Final

The victory sets a noon Sunday title game that could influence NCAA Tournament seeding as Georgia Tech chases its first ACC tournament crown since 2014.

Overview

  • Georgia Tech defeated Miami 9-3 to advance to the ACC Championship, propelled by Ryan Zuckerman’s four-hit game that included two home runs and four RBIs.
  • Jackson Blakely started for Georgia Tech and lasted 5.2 innings, with multiple reports crediting him with the win but showing small disagreement on whether he allowed one or two earned runs.
  • The Yellow Jackets improved to 47-9 on the season and extended their power surge, with coverage crediting the team with a new single-season program home-run mark reported as either 123 or 124.
  • No. 2 North Carolina beat Pittsburgh 13-5 in the other semifinal to set a Sunday noon championship at Truist Field that will be televised on ESPN2.
  • With both finalists all but assured of NCAA Tournament bids, the ACC title will mainly affect seeding and conference prestige while offering Georgia Tech a shot at its first tournament championship since 2014.
