Baseball. #STINGDAILY: King's Ransom

Grantland Rice became a sportswriting legend in the 1920s with his ability to turn a simple sporting event into something larger than life.

For example, the Murfreesboro, Tenn., native turned a very good Notre Dame football team into the legendary "Four Horsemen."

When Georgia Tech Baseball takes the field at Durham Bulls Athletic Park this afternoon at around 3:00 p.m. to take on Virginia Tech in its pool play finale, they'll hand the ball to another Murfreesboro, Tenn., native, freshman pitcher Jonathan King, who they hope will be the anti-Rice and turn their most important game of the season into the most routine of games.

Baseball. #STINGDAILY: The Champ Is Here!

A year can make a world of difference, especially in college baseball.As Georgia Tech heads into the 2013 ACC Baseball Championships, it hopes it's not TOO big a difference.Heading into the 2012 ACC Tournament, Tech's expectations were a little bit guarded. Although riding a wave of emotion, the unranked Yellow Jackets could just as easily have been on fumes after having to scratch and claw just to get in, beating Miami, 2-1, on the season's final day to secure the eighth seed. There was next-to-no pressure, considering no No. 8 seed had ever won the Tournament, only two No. 8 seeds had ever reached the title game, and Tech would have had to run a gauntlet of No. 1 Florida State, arch-rival Clemson and No. 19 Virginia in pool play, alone.Playing relaxed, and riding the hot hand and bat of Jake Davies, they would become the first No. 8 seed to win it all.This year, expectations are a little different.
