Georgia Tech will play its first game in the ACC baseball tournament at 3 p.m. Wednesday against Notre Dame in Durham, N.C.

The Yellow Jackets earned the No. 2 seed after finishing the regular season 19-11 in league play — first in the Coastal Division. They are in a three-team pool with the No. 7 seed Blue Devils and No. 11 seed Irish. Tech will play Duke at 11 a.m. Friday.

Tech won the regular-season series against both teams, twice taking two of three games. Duke will play Notre Dame at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The winner of the pool will advance to the tournament semifinals Saturday, with the championship game on Sunday. All games will be played at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

All but the championship game will be broadcast on regional sports networks, including Fox Sports South in Atlanta. The championship game will be televised on ESPN2. All games also will be available on ACC Network Extra.

Tech, ranked as high as sixth nationally, will be playing for its 10th ACC tournament championship.
