DURHAM, N.C. — On Thursday night, Clemson pitcher Clate Schmidt did like most young men do when they come to Durham, N.C., and play in the ACC Championships.
He took in a few innings of one of the baseball games, and then got a bite to eat at the Tobacco Road Restaurant, which sits right above the monster wall in left field at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. After filling himself up with a good meal, instead of watching the end of Miami’s dramatic win over NC State, he went back to his hotel room and went to bed.
