The ACC Baseball Tournament Quarterfinals begin today and they will start with No. 1 seed Georgia Tech facing No. 16 seed California. Cal came into the tournament as the lowest seed in the conference, but they have upset Miami and Wake Forest to get to the quarterfinals against Danny Hall and the Yellow Jackets. The two teams faced each other earlier this season and the result was a sweep by Georgia Tech.
