Artie Lewicki pitched seven innings as Virginia (38-17-1) closed its three-day run in ACC tournament pool play with a 2-1 record, beating Florida State 7-0 Saturday with a six-run seventh inning.

The Cavaliers boosted their chances of being an NCAA regional host.

The Seminoles, who entered the tournament ranked No. 1 nationally by d1baseball.com, finished 0-3 in Greensboro, N.C. Georgia Tech, the bottom seed in the eight-team event, went 3-0 in pool play to reach Sunday?s title game against Miami.

The Hurricanes' spot wasn't ensured until North Carolina beat N.C. State 4-0 in 12 innings before more than 10,000 fans, a record attendance for a college baseball game in the Tar Heel State. The Wolfpack would have made the final if it had won.

Miami and UNC led their group at 2-1, and the Hurricanes won the head-to-head tiebreaker.

CAA

UNC Wilmington took the Colonial Athletic Association tournament crown and an NCAA automatic bid by rallying from a six-run deficit to defeat Delaware 10-8 in the CAA tournament final in Harrisonburg.

The Seahawks (38-21) scored twice in the ninth inning, getting an RBI single by Thomas Pope and a sacrifice fly by Jake Koenig, to win their first title since 2006.

Delaware (31-27) forced a decisive game with an 11-9 win over UNCW earlier in the day.

Atlantic 10

Dayton won the Atlantic 10 tournament in the Bronx, N.Y., beating Richmond 3-0 to ensure its first NCAA regional trip.

Former Peninsula Pilot Phil Ruzbarsky was one of three Spiders on the all-tournament team.
