DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Steven Proscia hit a game-tying triple in
the fifth inning and came around to score the go-ahead run on an
error, lifting Virginia past Clemson 6-5 in the Atlantic Coast
Conference tournament Thursday night.
John Hicks homered and had two RBIs for the sixth-seeded
Cavaliers (40-12-1). They trailed 4-0 after three innings and were
down 5-2 through four before their four-run fifth.
Hicks led off Virginia's big inning with a homer that hit the
Durham Bulls' famous bull sign in left field. Dan Grovatt had an
RBI single, and scored the tying run when Proscia tripled to
left-center field and came around to score on Tyler Cannon's
miscue.
Wilson Boyd drove in two runs for third-seeded Clemson (39-18),
which plays Duke on Friday while Virginia faces North Carolina.
