Pool play has begun in the ACC baseball tournament and the first day is in the books. Time to go over yesterday’s action and take a look at the standings.

Day 2 Recap

Florida State 7 – 3 NC State

The Florida State Seminoles pulled away late from NC State thanks in part to Dylan Busby’s two-RBI single in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie the game up at three runs apiece. The Noles blew it open in the bottom of the eighth inning with four runs with a bunt that scored a run, a sacrifice fly, and another two-RBI single, this time from sophomore Taylor Walls.

Miami 4 – 0 Georgia Tech

The top-seeded Miami Hurricanes got an unsurprising result yesterday in their defeat of the Yellow Jackets. The Canes scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning to give them the winning margin, but it was not without an upset scare from Georgia Tech. The Jackets left nine men on base and had five base runners in scoring position in the game, including two in the top of the ninth. Instead, the Hurricanes get the win thanks to timely pitching, striking out Tech’s final batter with the bases loaded and the tying run at the plate.

Louisville 9 – 5 Wake Forest

The Louisville Cardinals had a bit of a scare against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons when Wake Forest jumped out to a two-run lead in the first inning. However, a barrage from the hard-hitting Cardinals kept the upset-minded Demon Deacons at bay. Louisville jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the fifth inning with back-to-back home runs from catcher Will Smith and infielder Nick Solak and never looked back after that.

Here are the current pool play standings with the completion of Wednesday’s games. The team atop each pool will face each other in the ACC championship game on Sunday.

Day 3 Preview

Virginia vs. Clemson – 11 a.m. ET (regional sports network/ESPN3)

The Virginia Cavaliers will take on the Clemson Tigers today, hoping to rely once again on the bat of sophomore Ernie Clement, who leads the ACC in hits. Connor Jones is starting at pitcher for the Cavaliers, and he leads the ACC in innings pitched per start (7.1). Clemson will have lefty Charlie Barnes on the mound.

Florida State vs. Georgia Tech – 3 p.m. ET (regional sports network/ESPN3)

The Seminoles move on to their second game in the tournament, this time against the Yellow Jackets. Tech will look to make the slipper fit as they almost did against Miami. John Sansone, Taylor Walls, and Cal Raleigh will all look to continue to be reliable hitters for the Noles as they were all named to All-ACC honors this season.

Miami vs. NC State – 7 p.m. ET (regional sports network/ESPN3)

Miami will take on the NC State Wolfpack in the nightcap on Thursday. NC State absolutely needs to take this game to avoid being at the bottom of their group and missing out on chance at the championship game.
