THE FLATS -- A.J. Murray and Mott Hyde slammed back-to-back home runs over the Blue Monster at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park with two outs in the ninth inning as Georgia Tech rallied to stun No. 7 Florida State, 4-3, Wednesday afternoon as play began at the 2013 ACC Championship, where the Jackets are the defending champions.

Seventh-seeded Tech (34-23) won its fifth consecutive ACC Tournament game by staging a dramatic comeback after taking a 2-0 lead in the fourth, and watching the second-seeded Seminoles (44-13) rally for the tie in the sixth and the lead in the eighth.

The dramatic ninth-inning blasts from Murray and Hyde were the first two home runs allowed by FSU closer Robby Coles this season, who entered the game with a 4-1 record, nine saves and a 1.16 ERA. It marked the first time this year that FSU lost when leading after the eighth inning (40-1), and was Tech's third win when trailing after eight (3-20).
