>> Winners of four straight overall and three in a row at the ACC Tournament, No. 8-seed Georgia Tech plays for its eighth ACC Championship on Sunday versus No. 6-seed Miami at NewBridge Bank Park in Greensboro, N.C.

>> The game can be seen live at 12 p.m. on ESPN2 with Justin Kutcher and Jay Payton, while Nolan Alexander and Will Long have the call on WREK 91.1 FM in Atlanta. Satellite radio coverage is available on Sirius 93 and XM 190.

>> After clinching the eighth and final tournament spot on the final day of the regular season, Tech became just the third team to go undefeated in pool play since the ACC went to this format in 2007, joining Miami in 2008 and Virginia in 2009 and 2011 — the three previous times the team has won the ACC title, and reached the College World Series.

>> Tech is out-scoring the opposition 27-10 in the ACC tournament, and as a team, the Jackets are hitting .310 (31-for-100), with 10 doubles, a triple, six homers and slugging .610. The staff is pitching to a 2.88 ERA in the tournament, with a .226 opponent batting average.

>> Jake Davies and Zane Evans are a combined 11-for-23 (.478) in the tournament with four doubles, five homers, eight runs and have accounted for 16 RBI — more than half of Tech’s 27.

>> For Tech, all 10 Jackets who have played have at least two hits, and all but two have recorded at least one extra-base hit.
