Clemson’s sweep of Irish big on lots of levels

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — How big was Clemson’s three-game sweep over Notre Dame this weekend? Just look at the ACC Championships schedule for that answer.

Thanks to their sweep of the Irish, the 18th-ranked Tigers will not play a game in the ACC Championships until Thursday, when they play No. 8 Virginia, the third seed in the tournament, at 11 a.m., at Durham (N.C.) Bulls Athletic Park. That means the Tigers, and most importantly their pitchers, get an extra day of rest.

“This was one of the biggest wins of the season,” infielder Chris Williams said.
