LIVE Updates - Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs California Baseball, ACC Quarterfinals Score

The ACC Baseball Tournament Quarterfinals begin today and they will start with No. 1 seed Georgia Tech facing No. 16 seed California.

The two teams faced each other earlier this season and the result was a sweep by Georgia Tech.

5. C Vahn Lackey

Hernandez struck out and Lackey grounded out, but then Daniel came to the plate and blasted a two out, solo home run to make it 4-0 Georgia Tech. Cal could not afford to waste another second and made a quick pitching change. Kerce struck out to end the inning, but three home runs gave Georgia Tech a 4-0 lead going to the 2nd
