Miami to face Virginia in ACC title game…

Jemile Weeks and Enrique Garcia almost single-handedly put the Miami Hurricanes in the ACC Championship game against sixth-seeded Virginia.

The Canes took down the Wolfpack, 5-2 in Saturday’s showdown, with a title game berth on the line. Weeks fired a three-run shot in the third inning, while Garcia tossed seven scoreless innings en route to Miami’s third straight victory in Jacksonville. The U outscored the competition 27-15 to improve their record to 3-0 this week and like last night, Weeks’ shot was another two-out rally by the Canes.

Miami takes on Virginia at 1pm EDT on Sunday. The Canes are 3-0 against the Cavs this year and sport a four-game win streak against their ACC rival. 

Carlos Gutierrez earned his 11th save, striking out the final two batters with two runners on in the bottom of the ninth.

Tune in tomorrow to see if Miami wins the ACC crown for the first time in school history and improves their seeding entering regional week.
