Conference Tournament week is coming to a close and the field of 64 is starting to take shape. The bracket is going to be revealed on Monday and there are teams still hoping to make their case to be included or for teams to be in position to host a regional next weekend.

One of those teams is Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets won the ACC regular season championship and earned a double-bye in the conference tournament this week. They won 10-3 against California in the quarterfinals yesterday, setting up a big semifinal matchup against Clemson on Saturday afternoon. The winner of that game will of course advance to the ACC Championship, but there could be more at stake. The Yellow Jackets have been right on the line of being chosen to host a regional and a win would be huge for their resume and could put them safely in the hosting field. A loss could drop them from hosting.

In the latest field of 64 projections from D1baseball, the Yellow Jackets are the No. 16 national seed and hosting a regional in Atlanta. The other teams in the regional include Florida, Oklahoma State, and Murray State.

Tomorrow is a big game and if the Yellow Jackets can defeat the Tigers, a regional should be locked up.

Georgia Tech and Clemson played a tight three game series at the end of March, with the Tigers coming out on top. Clemson won 9-7 in game one before Georgia Tech blew them out 18-2 in the second game. The Yellow Jackets blew a late lead in the third game and lost 4-3. This time, a spot in the ACC Championship is on the line.
