CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Viginia built a four-run lead heading to the bottom of the seventh inning Thursday against Georgia Tech in the ACC baseball tournament quarterfinals. But the Yellow Jackets struck for 11 runs over the next two frames on their way to a 16-10 victory.

Right fielder Parker Brosius delivered the key hit in the bottom of the seventh inning with a go-ahead grand slam that turned a 9-7 deficit into an 11-9 lead. Brosius finished 1 for 4 with five RBI.

Catcher Vahn Lackey went 2 for 4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI and shortstop Carson Kerce was 3 for 5 with two home runs and four runs driven in for top-seeded Tech, which advanced to Friday’s semifinal against the winner of Thursday’s second quarterfinal between Boston College and Miami.

The Cavaliers now await their NCAA tournament fate. That bracket is revealed Monday at noon.

For Virginia, second-baseman Joe Tiroly finished 3 for 4 with a home run and three RBI and first baseman Antonio Perrotta was 3 for 5 with a home run, a double and two RBI.

Reliever Mason Patel earned the win on the mound for Georgia Tech pitching 3.0 innings while allowing four runs on five hits while Max Stammel suffered the loss for Virginia allowing five runs on three hits in 1.2 innings.

Kerce got the scoring started with his first home run– a solo shot in the bottom of the third inning off Cavalier starter John Paone putting the Yellow Jackets up 1-0. Georgia Tech starting pitcher Tate McKee was forced to exit the game due to an injury on his throwing hand in the top of the 4th inning, however, and Virginia would capitalize on the pitching change two batters later as Perrotta launched a two-run home run off reliever Dylan Loy to put the ‘Hoos on top briefly. The Jackets had a response in the bottom half of the inning scoring three runs highlighted by a two-run single from Kerce.

The Cavaliers used the long ball to their advantage to retake the lead in the top of the fifth inning as Joe Tiroly and Harrison Didawick both hit two-run home runs to put Virginia in front 6-4. Lackey followed in the bottom half of the inning with a solo homer to cut the Virginia lead to 6-5. A sac fly by Sam Harris gave Virginia a two-run cushion after the top of the sixth and the ‘Hoos would push across two more in the top half of the seventh with an RBI double from Eric Becker and a bases loaded walk by Tiroly to take their largest lead at 9-5.

The game turned towards the Yellow Jackets in the bottom half of the seventh, though, as the ACC regular-season champs sent 10 batters to the plate and scored seven runs in the frame to flip the game and take a 12-9 lead. Virginia would add one more run in the top of the eighth on a Zach Jackson sac fly to make it 12-10, but Georgia Tech would score four more runs in the bottom half of the inning with Lackey and first-baseman Kent Schmidt each hitting a two-run home run to put the Jackets ahead by the final margin of 16-10.
