Miami (FL) 15 Clemson 5
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Freshman catcher Yasmani Grandal collected a career-high four hits and four RBI including the go-ahead home run in the sixth inning and No. 2 Miami tacked on eight runs in the eighth inning en route to a 15-5 win over Clemson (18-12, 6-8 ACC) Saturday night to clinch the Atlantic Coast Conference series at Mark Light Field in front of another capacity crowd of 3,000.

Bellamy tossed 1 1/3 innings in relief of starter Enrique Garcia and recorded a strikeout. Carlos Gutierrez earned his seventh save after pitching the final two scoreless innings. Garcia struck out six in 4 2/3 innings and allowed five runs on nine hits. Blake Tekotte, Mark Sobolewski and Ryan Jackson each tallied two hits.

Maryland 13 Va Tech 8
BLACKSBURG, Va. – The University of Maryland baseball team scored four first-inning runs and survived a brief Virginia Tech scare in the middle innings to roll to a 13-8 victory at a rainy English Field Saturday night.
For the second consecutive game, the Terps (17-14, 4-10 ACC) scored four first-inning runs. Third baseman Mike Murphy (Silver Spring, Md./Georgetown Prep) got things started with a solo home run to right-center field off Hokies starter David Cross. It was Murphy’s team-leading eighth home run of the season and second in as many games. Left fielder Gerry Spessard (Hagerstown, Md./Smithsburg) added three more later in the frame with a three-run shot to right field, a no-doubter.
The Terps seemed to be cruising, up 8-2 heading into the bottom of the fourth, but the Hokies (11-19, 1-13 ACC) staged a rally, partially due to Maryland starting pitcher Jensen Pupa (Germantown, Md./Northwest) having to leave the game due to a shoulder injury.
