Tech into ACC baseball finals
The Georgia Tech baseball team is in the ACC championship game for the first time since 2005 after a 5-1 defeat of Clemson in the Jackets’ final pool-play game Saturday in Greensboro, N.C. Entering the tournament as the No. 8 (lowest seed) with a 12-18 league record, the Jackets won all three of their pool-play games, riding the superior play of first baseman/pitcher Jake Davies.
Saturday, Davies hit a two-run home run in the first inning – his fourth in three tournament games – that gave Tech a 2-0 lead that it did not relinquish. Davies also gave the Jackets six innings, holding the Tigers to one run, before Alex Cruz finished with three scoreless innings to seal the win.
Tech will play the Pool B winner at noon in Greensboro, N.C., for the league championship, which would be the Jackets’ eighth overall and coach Danny Hall’s fourth. Freshman Josh Heddinger is expected to pitch for the Jackets.
Tech’s opponent has yet to be determined. North Carolina’s 7 p.m. game against N.C. State will determine the opponent. If North Carolina wins, Miami will advance. If N.C. State wins, the Wolfpack will play for the title.

I wanted us to face a worn-out State team. Looks like we’re gonna face a fresh Miami team now.

SUPER…………………..Phil got mad and responded……………HAHAHA
Phil Smith LOL.
Stupid is thinking that I’m the only player to go out during bowl week. If you had 1 million dollars for every player who didn’t go out during bowl week, you’d be more broke than the United States of America.
Fun fact of the day: Tech’s 0-4 in bowl games that Phil Smith doesn’t play in since 2008.

@ UOAD…..I’m sure he’s right about players going out during bowl week, but they ought to have better sense than to get drunk AND get caught. Certainly doesn’t show much of a sense of pride or team loyalty, no matter what school.

Well, he’s our lean right now (he was just on campus), but will be visiting UGA again soon. He was wanting to hear from Auburn but they’re really out of it. I suspect he’ll be getting the hard press in Athens. If he doesn’t commit while he’s there, then I think we’re “golden,” so to speak…
