OFFICIAL ACC TOURNEY THREAD: CLEMSON vs. No.17 Georgia Tech

CUTrevor 2021-05-26 16:42:07

The Tigers are already eliminated by virtue of their 15-10 loss to Louisville yesterday, and this will likely be their last game of the season, as I don't believe they will get an NCAA bid. Still, it would be nice to knock Tech out of the ACC Tourney, wouldn't it? Although, Tech could lose tonight and still beat Louisville tomorrow to advance. The Tigers lead the all-time series with Tech by one win.

First pitch is at 7:00, and I'll have live updates right here.

I'll have post-game interviews shortly!

TIGERS WIN 11-5!!!
