Micah Owings drove in the go-ahead run with an infield grounder while Clifton Remole added a key three-run double as Georgia Tech scored five runs in the top of the 13th inning to beat Clemson 11-7 Thursday night in the ACC tournament. Mike Trapani had three hits including a solo home run. Reliever John Goodman got the win.
Quoting Danny Hall:
"It was an incredible baseball game. I think emotions on both sides were very high. I told Micah (Owings) that he did a great job after being down 3-0 of pitching unbelievable the rest of the way. I totally trusted him in the ninth inning, I knew he was tired and his pitch count was higher then I wanted it to be at that point in the game. But I would do it all over again and trust him in that situation. 99 times out of 100 he is going to get the other team out. We had tremendous defensive plays and Clifton made two outstanding defensive catches out in right field. Boggs made two great plays in center but in the end we prevailed and found a way to get the hits when we needed them. I can't say enough about our bullpen, we were really trying to match some right, left match-ups there in the later innings after Micah got knocked out and those guys were just tremendous. It was just a great college baseball game and I don't know what it is about Salem but we like to play a lot of innings on this field. I am very proud of my team and excited about the victory."
