On Friday afternoon, 6-seed Boston College baseball took on 3-seed Clemson down in Durham for the chance to advance to the ACC tournament semifinals. Both teams defeated Virginia Tech earlier in the week, meaning the winner of this game was set to be the one to advance from Pool C. The Tigers, ranked #6 in the nation, dispatched the #22 Eagles 4-1 for the win.
Like most Birdball games against tough competition, their pitching struggled early. Clemson managed to get 2 runs on the board in both the 1st and 2nd innings, putting BC in an early 4-0 hole as starting pitcher Chris Flynn struggled to get out of trouble.
