ACC Tournament
* Clemson 9, Georgia Tech 4 - Jacob Jarrell's third-inning grand slam turned a two-run deficit into a two-run lead and the Tigers (44-15) pulled away to advance Sunday's championship game. Andrew Ciufo doubled twice and scored twice and  Joe Allen and Jacob McGovern combine for 5 1/3 innings of shutout relief for Clemson, which will play either Florida State or North Carolina.

Big South Tournament
* USC Upstate 14, Charleston Southern 2 -  Tournament MVP Scott Campbell was 5-for-5 and drove in four runs against his former team and the Spartans (36-23) earned their first bid to the NCAA Tournament with a lopsided win over the Buccaneers (31-22) in the championship game. Chris Torres allowed a run on three hits in six innings for Upstate Campbell, Preston Lucas, Alex Ritzer and Vance Sheahan hit home runs. Lew Rice had three hits for CSU.

CAA Tournament
* UNC Wilmington 6, College of Charleston Southern 5 - A bases-loaded hit-by-pitch gave UNC Wilmington a walk-off win and eliminated the Cougars (37-22). The College led 5-1, but the Seahawks (34-23) - the home team - rallied to within 5-4 going to the bottom of the ninth. Mac Gillespie singled and went to third on a double by Brock Willis. Charleston contended the ball was foul, but there was no review and the call stood. Trevor Lucas grounded out to tie the game. Tanner Thach and Bryan Arendt were intentionally walked, then Aidan Evans was hit by the first pitch to end the game.

* Mercer 4, The Citadel 2 -
 The Bears scored three runs in the third inning and made that stand up to eliminate the Bulldogs (31-26). Ty Dalley had a two-run homer for Mercer. Thomas Rollauer and Lane Tobin had RBI for The Citadel. Yates Bland kept the Bulldogs close, allowing a run on six hits in seven innings for relief. Rollauer, Phillips Daniels, Travis Elliott, Anthony Hausner and Aryan Pagtel had two hits apiece for The Citadel. 

Sun Belt Conference
* Coastal Carolina 6, Marshall 1 - Blake Barthol's two-run first-inning homer gave the Chanticleers (57-11) the lead and Jacob Morrison improved to 11-0 with a win over the Thundering Herd (33-26).
