After watching his starting pitchers fail to record a single quality start last weekend against instate rival UofSC, Monte Lee decided he needed to shake things up with his weekend rotation. Davis Sharpe was moved from Saturday to Friday, Mat Clark from the pen to Saturday, and Keyshawn Askew from the midweek spot to Sunday. Going with two true freshman, and a sophomore making just his second career start might have been viewed as a bold move by some, with third ranked UNC coming to town to open ACC play.
Bold or not, the move paid off, as Clemson got quality starts from all three, and swept the #3 Tarheels.
