It was another up-and-down ACC regular season for the Virginia Tech baseball team. After impressively winning three series early in the season over Louisville, Notre Dame and sweeping Wake Forest on the road, the Hokies hit the skids again and struggled.
Needing to at least win their final series over the weekend against Virginia at home, if not sweep it, the Hokies split the first two games before dropping the rubber match on Saturday afternoon, 3-1, to finish 12-18. That loss clinched the No. 12 seed for the conference tournament next week in Durham and they will begin on Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock against No. 13 Stanford, which finished 11-19 in their first year in the ACC.

This is the first season that the tournament is single-elimination, which means teams like Virginia Tech, who need wins to improve their NCAA Tournament chances, have limited opportunities to do it, which is less than ideal.
