ACC has had a very good start to the Super Regionals

Virginia took down Kansas State and former Virginia Tech coach Peter Hughes in two games. After winning the opener Friday night, 7-4, the Cavaliers completed the sweep Saturday with a 10-4 win. North Carolina swept Big 12 foe West Virginia to advance to Omaha next weekend. The Tar Heels rallied to win the opener with three runs in the bottom of the ninth for an 8-6 win before winning a 2-1 pitchers duel Saturday night.

Clemson dropped their first game Saturday at home to Florida, 10-7 and will look to stay alive Sunday in Game 2 and force a Game 3 Monday. NC State is one win away from Omaha after blasting Georgia, 18-1, in Game 1 Saturday in Athens, Georgia.
