DURHAM, N.C. — Miami used a seven-run sixth inning to beat Georgia Tech 8-6 in their opening game of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament on Wednesday.

Tech (34-16-1) narrowed the gap from 8-2 to 8-6 on a two-run double in the sixth by Tony Plagman and a two-run single in the seventh by Jeff Rowland.

The Yellow Jackets opened the ninth with two walks, but Miami closer Kyle Bellamy then set down the side in order. David Gutierrez (3-6) got the win.

Georgia Tech will play Boston College on Thursday.
