The top seeded Hokies open ACC Tournament play tonight at 7pm on the Regional Sports Networks.
The 40-11 VT Hokies take on the 35-22 Clemson Tigers in Blacksburg.
Clemson comes in on their last gasp, while the Hokies enter as ACC favorites and in the national championship conversation.
Hokies have the advantage in ERA, batting average, OBP, and Slugging %, and despite playing 6 fewer games, the Hokies have 68 more total bases.
Despite being in the same conference, this is the first scheduled meeting between the two teams.

I know it technically doesn't matter if we win (top seed in each group only has to go 1-1 to advance, the other two teams have to go 2-0), but I want to see us run-rule these guys 12-0 and close up shop before the top of the 8th.
LET's GO!!!!
Dammit, you're right
As someone subject to blackout, I hate RSNs with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns.
I think they make antibiotics for that.
Just here to say that the format of the ACC baseball tournament is ridiculously bad.
With that said...Lets Go
Hokies
Aren't the games being played in Charlotte?
My bad. I got ACC Tournament mixed up with the Super Regionals in softball.
What's the best way to watch this? If I use a VPN will this be somewhere on watchespn?

I just wish the ACC had their own network that they could show every tournament game...
What, and deprive everyone of a month-old replay of the NC State spring game!?
Some weather headed this way in CLT. What happens if we get stormed/rained out tonight?
We have tickets for tomorrow night, so trying to figure out how all this works with the scheulding so tight.
Looking pretty dark in Concord....
Up in Davidson. Tornado warnings out to the west but looks like CLT is in the clear for a bit longer.
1-0 Hokies, Top of the 2nd
Hurley single scores Biddison in the first.
3-2 Hokies in the 3rd
Jones goes deep on a full count with 2 out.
5-2 Good Guys
And the starter is chased. Into the bullpen.
Biddison goes yard. The bats are alive in Charlotte.
8-2 Hokies
IT'S ALIVE
Cross with a solo shot.
9-2 Tech
Bombs away!!!
I can't type fast enough
Another solo shot
10-2
Give it to Clemson. They got fight in them.
10-4 Hokies in the 3rd
It's only the third?! Haha, thought it was going to be the sixth or so when you got to 10 runs.
Yet another to run Homer by Clemson
10-6
I guess when you are guaranteed to be on the bus home win or lose, you can go ahead and burn your entire pitching staff...
Bases loaded walk.
12-6
We're gonna break the hammer again. 13-6 Hokies.
14-6 at the seventh inning stretch
I'm guessing weather delay as nothing I'm using has updated in a while
yeah, weather delay.
No. wonder this is taking so long. And most networks feature their best team. #GOACC. Imagine how things would be worse if we were not the #3 team in the country and an great come from nowhere story.
Excuse you. Number 2 team in the country!!! The rest is valid.
/s
You could almost start to feel bad for Clemson.
I don't, but you could I suppose.
Carson fucking Jones has 7 home runs in 5 games🤯
I read this as Cardale Jones and was momentarily very confused.
18-6 Final
Hokies Win
Turned those Tigers into Rags.
Onto tomorrow!
Fam!
ND is beating UVA 3-0 top of the 9th.
Final ND won 3-0.
Anybody know what time we can get in the gates with our tickets tonight? It says 7pm so I guess it's not for the earlier games too but I was thinking about just going down early.
Based on the softball rain delay, I would say stop at a bar and stay until about 7:30 and make the walk over then.
It's been perfect weather in Charlotte all day. Great night for a baseball game.
I'm thinking there's a "rain delay."
I'm drinking one now.
Yikes UNC up 3 top 1st with 1 out
Going to bottom 1st down 4... UNC sent 9 to bat
Bring the lumber this game, boys!
Hackenburg pulled after 1 inning for Firoved
Looks like they used all the mojo last night
Is this it? If we lose are we done?
We are out of the ACC tournament. NCAA still ahead.
I do not understand bag sport tourneys at all I thought they were still going on what a sad way to end the ACC tourney as a 1 seed.
Ironically, if Clemson had beaten UNC, we would still have advanced even getting embarrassed like we did last night.
The (stupid) format is: whatever team goes 2-0 or the highest seed advances
It looks like UNC vs. NC State in the championship.
