ACC Baseball Tournament game times: New start for Friday quarterfinal games revealed

Inclement weather has affected multiple conference tournaments already, and the ACC is taking precautions to ensure it is impacted as little as possible. Two ACC Baseball Tournament quarterfinal game times on Friday have been moved up.

The hope is to get ahead of some nasty weather projected to hit the area on Friday evening. As a result, quarterfinal games between Virginia Tech and North Carolina, as well as Pittsburgh and Florida State, have been moved.

The Virginia Tech vs. North Carolina matchup will now take place at 11 a.m. ET on Friday. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh and Florida State game will begin at 3 p.m. ET. Both games will be carried on the ACC Network.

The original ACC Baseball Tournament schedule called for those games to begin at 3 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. ET, respectively. So it’s a move of four hours for the four teams involved.

The SEC made a similar move on Thursday, bumping games between Georgia and Mississippi State, as well as Alabama and Florida, up by about three hours. Whatever you can do to get the games in, right?

As for the matchups themselves, North Carolina and Florida State will be in action for the first time after both earned double byes. Pittsburgh, which will face Florida State in the night game, beat Louisville 16-8 and then Wake Forest 7-4 to advance to the quarterfinals. Virginia Tech knocked off Notre Dame 17-10 to move on.
