Yellow Jackets surge to ACC championship final
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets erupted for six runs in the first inning, turning a modest opening into a commanding lead over Miami in the semifinals of the 2026 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Championship.
Ryan Zuckerman went 4-for-5 at the plate, launching two home runs, driving in four runs and scoring twice, while Vahn Lackey added a two‑run homer, three runs scored and two RBIs, underscoring the team’s offensive firepower.
Jackson Blakely delivered 5.2 innings on the mound, allowing only two runs on seven hits while striking out three and walking one, and the bullpen shut down Miami’s rally with just one run over the final 3.1 innings.
A championship showdown looms
With the 9-3 victory secured, the Yellow Jackets now await the champion of the North Carolina versus Pitt matchup, a contest that will determine their opponent in the championship game later this week.
