Georgia Tech baseball keeps on ramblin’.

The top-seeded Yellow Jackets dispatched No. 5 seed Miami, 9-3, on Saturday afternoon in the ACC semifinals at Truist Field in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Georgia Tech (47-9) advances to Sunday’s ACC championship game, where it will face the winner of No. 2 seed North Carolina and 14th-seeded Pittsburgh at noon.

Vahn Lackey hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and Ryan Zuckerman had a pair of two-run homers in the third and fourth innings, as the Yellow Jackets flew to a 6-0 lead.

In the fifth inning, Alex Hernandez had a leadoff walk and moved to third on a single by Carson Kerce. Hernandez scored on a wild pitch, boosting the lead to 7-0.

Miami (38-18) scored two runs in the sixth, and Georgia Tech added a run, but the Hurricanes never seriously threatened after that.
