Tech to face Miami for ACC baseball title
The Georgia Tech baseball team has one more hill to climb Sunday on an improbable ascent. The Yellow Jackets will play Miami for the ACC championship in Greensboro, N.C., eight days after their spot in the eight-team tournament was secured on the final day of the regular season.
The game will start at noon and will be carried on ESPN2.
The No. 8 seed, Tech upset top-seeded Florida State (the top-ranked team in the country) on Wednesday, beat No. 17 Virginia on Friday and then Clemson on Saturday behind six innings from Jake Davies, who limited the Tigers to two hits in the fourth pitching start of his career.
A team that entered the tournament on the NCAA tournament bubble, Tech can secure its ticket automatically by winning its first ACC title since 2005. The Jackets (35-24) are just the third No. 8 seed to reach the final.
“We didn’t have anything to lose,” Davies said. “Nobody expected us to do anything. We upset the No. 1 seed and then things just kind of fell into place.”
Davies has taken the lead role, hitting four home runs in three games, including a two-run shot in the first inning of Saturday’s game to give the Jackets a lead they never surrendered in their 5-1 win.
Davies is 5-for-11 in the three games with nine RBI and a slugging percentage of 1.636, not a bad addendum to his portfolio before the major league draft begins June 4.
“This is the best I’ve ever seen the ball,” Davies said. “I’m playing probably the best three games I’ve played in my career.”
Freshman Josh Heddinger, who demonstrated his big-game appetite earlier this season with two solid starts against Georgia, is expected to pitch for the Jackets against Miami. The sixth-seeded Hurricanes (36-20) took two of three from Tech on the final weekend of the season, though the three-game aggregate was 14-12 in Miami’s favor.
Including the win over the Hurricanes to secure the No. 8 seed, Tech has now won four games in a row over ACC opponents. Prior to that, the longest winning streak the Jackets put together against ACC competition this season was three games, and did that against Boston College and Duke, neither of which qualified for the tournament.
“Offensively, that’s really what we should have been doing all season,” Davies said. “You know what? You get hot at the right time. That’s what this thing’s about.”

@ collegeballfan…..although that was certainly a good sentiment, that was not given by me, the REAL Supersize. I don’t know what thrill he/she gets out of posing as me, but he/she is a total jerk. The AJC has banned him over and over, but he keeps finding a way to get back on here. At any rate, I will be here the rest of the game commenting along with UOAD and other regulars. And, dammit, my cable just went out here in Augusta.

Happy Memorial Day. As one that served in the Marines for 6 years and have lost friends, it is great to see people post and show recognition for the efforts that our military does. I agree with 5150… The CWS will be tough. I would imagine that Tech’s run in the ACC tourney would help them get into the CWS running. But, a win today would guarantee it. Leading 4-1 after one inning sure looks good.

The umpiring crew has certainly been friendly to the Jackets so far this game, even if it’s by accident!
First the home plate ump prevented a passed ball, and then the 1st base ump interfered with the catch of a foul ball. I love the way this is working out.

Miami can manufacture runs. Hall’s teams can’t bunt, steal, or run the bases well. They also can’t play defense. Tech has to sit back and wait for the home run which is why they fall apart against small schools with one good pitcher in the regionals. If Hall would ever try and just teach the basic fundamentals with the talent he brings in, he would get to Omaha every now and then.This is the second day in a row that he has tried to sit on a lead and it may cost him today.

Are u the guy who played catcher for the Braves?
If I followed the team more maybe I would think like u.
But u do seem to see the negative even when things are going good.
When someone hates the coach and is ready to pounce on his mistakes, I begin to wonder whether such folks want their team to win anymore.
Whether they like losing better than winning so they can vent.

Good thing u guys aren’t Cub fans.
They tied the record of having ten base hits and 3 steals and getting shutout.
Only done 3 times in baseball history, also by 2 other Cub teams in 1913 and 1990.
I waterballooned Cub Bleacher Bums in August 1969 when they did an “Up with Sherman” cheer in the old Fulton County stadium.
The spin I put on it now is that I prevented a brawl from breaking out between two groups of drunk fans.

We need to start a campaign to email DRad about honoring these 4 (Heisman, Alexander, Hyder & Ciraldo) men. The Heisman Indoor Practice Facility, the Alexander/Hyder Athletic Facility & the Ciraldo Booth (BDF@HGF) Booth press box. Then they can honor Mr. Moneybags as they choose.
Supersize that order, mutt

@ 1 4 GT, although it was a long time ago, Ciraldo’s predecessor (Jack Hurst) should be honored too. He was even better than Ciraldo, and nothing has ever been done to honor him.
