ATLANTA - Tyler Greene's single with one out in the ninth capped a three-run rally that gave Georgia Tech an 11-10 victory over North Carolina State on Sunday.
The victory extended Tech's record streak of consecutive conference wins to 25 baseball games, a stretch in which it has swept eight consecutive league series.
Trailing 10-8 in the ninth, Jeremy Slayden and Jeff Kindel had consecutive singles before Matt Wieters' two-run double cut the lead to one run and chased Wolfpack reliever Joey Devine.
A groundout and intentional walk loaded the bases with one out. Danny Payne, who had struck out four times, got a run-scoring single to tie just before Greene lined his winning single to the rightfield wall.
FSU 8, VA. TECH 1: Mark Sauls allowed one run in six innings as the host Seminoles completed a three-game sweep. With three hits, Shane Robinson tied Marshall McDougall and Ryan Barthelemy for the second-longest hitting streak in school history at 33 games. He can tie J.D. Drew on Tuesday game at Jacksonville.
USF 18, CHARLOTTE 8: Brad Karns, Bryan Hierlmeier and Jeremy Brand homered during a seven-run second as the visiting Bulls completed a three-game sweep. It marked USF's first sweep against a Conference USA team since 2003 at Saint Louis. USF scored five more in the third, and former Land O'Lakes stars Jeff and Brian Baisley later homered.
Softball
LOUISVILLE 1, USF 0 (8): Lacy Wood's single won it for the host Cardinals. Bree Spence struck out five in eight innings but took the loss. Audrey Rendon led off the eighth with a single then was sacrificed to second. Wood followed with the winning hit.
FLORIDA 8, ARKANSAS 0: The visiting Gators tied a school record with 16 hits and completed the sweep. The hits were the most in an SEC game for Florida, who put it away in the third on Kristen Butler's grand slam. It was the Gators' first grand slam since Lindsey Cameron on May 3, 2003, against LSU.
Tennis
FSU 6, VIRGINIA 1: The host Seminoles women won their third consecutive match. FSU swept the doubles for the third time in four conference matches then got singles wins from Mihaela Moldovan, Roxanne Clarke, Miranda Foley, Tapiwa Marobela and Amberly Tantee.
The Florida men totaled 26-over 890 to finish 10th at the Chris Schenkel Invitational in Stateboro, Ga. James Vargas shot 4-over 220 to finish tied for 17th, his fourth top-20 finish this season.
Duke took first at 4-over 868, one shot better than Auburn and 14 better than Tennessee and Georgia.
Track
