DURHAM, N.C. — If you are wondering why Clemson got the day off the day before the semifinal round of the 2018 ACC Baseball Championship … it’s because it asked for it.
Because they are the No. 2 seed in this week’s baseball tournament in Durham, N.C., the Tigers were asked by the ACC if they had a preference for taking a day off. Given the fact the bullpen is Clemson’s strength, head coach Monte Lee asked for Friday off just in case his Tigers were playing in the semifinals.
Well, they are. Third-ranked Clemson will play the winner between tonight’s NC State-Florida State game in one of two semifinal games at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
