With North Carolina's 4-0 win over North Carolina State in the Pool B finale on Saturday night, the No. 21 Miami Hurricanes clinched a berth in Sunday's Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament Championship against eighth-seeded Georgia Tech.

The Hurricanes, who finished Pool B round-robin play tied with the Tar Heels at 2-1, advanced to the championship via head-to-head tiebreaker. Miami took down No. 6 North Carolina 5-3 in its second game of the tournament on Thursday afternoon.

Georgia Tech won Pool A by finishing a perfect 3-0 in round-robin play. After opening their tournament with an upset of No. 1 Florida State, the Yellow Jackets reeled off a 17-5 win against Virginia and a 5-1 win over Clemson on Saturday afternoon to earn their spot in the championship.

Miami is making its return to the championship game after a three-year hiatus. The last time the Hurricanes made it to the tournament's finale was in 2008, when they defeated Virginia 8-4.

Miami will be starting sophomore righthander Javi Salas, while Georgia Tech will counter with freshman righthander Josh Heddinger.

Television coverage for Sunday's championship is set for 12 noon on ESPN2. The tournament finale can also be heard on 560 WQAM and WVUM 90.5.
