Baseball Gameday Central: Chat, Listen and Watch

Coral Gables, Fla. – The No. 5 seed University of Miami takes on the No. 1 seed University of Virginia in Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament action Friday, May 27, 2011, inside Durham Bulls Athletic Park at 11 a.m.

After pulling off the largest comeback of the year a day ago against No. 4 seed North Carolina, Miami (35-20) looks to upset the top-seeded Virginia Cavaliers in day three action. The Cavs took the season series between the two teams just two weeks ago in Charlottesville. Miami took the series opener against ACC Pitcher of the Year, Danny Hultzen, before UVa rebounded for the final two games of the weekend slate.

On Friday, Miami will send right-hander Eric Whaley (7-5, 2.61 ERA) to the mound against Virginia right-hander and All-ACC pitcher Will Roberts (10-1, 1.67 ERA). The last time these two met, it was a true pitchers’ duel, with Roberts getting the best of the Hurricanes – though UMiami fought back late against UVa closer Branden Kline – to take a 3-2 decision in a nationally televised contest on May 14.

The game will be televised in the Miami-Dade area on Fox Sports Florida, with radio coverage provided by WVUM 90.5 FM. You can also listen to the broadcast anywhere in the world via the internet at WVUM.org. Justin Antweil and Mike Weisman will have the call on WVUM. Meanwhile, Joe Zagacki will have the call for 560 WQAM (WQAM.com), and the crew of Jose Martinez and Nick Melendres will provide Spanish radio coverage for 1450 ESPN Deportes (1450ESPNDeportes.com).
