DURHAM, NC – Matthew Crownover had every right to be disappointed and angry following Wednesday’s 3-1 loss to Florida St. in the ACC Baseball Championship. Instead, he was gracious.
Crownover deserved a better fate – he pitched seven strong innings, giving up three hits and the three runs while striking out eight and walking three. He threw 106 pitches, 62 for strikes. He held the Seminoles scoreless through two innings, but the Seminoles cashed in a Clemson mistake in the third. With runners at the corners and two out, FSU’s D.J. Stewart blasted a ball to left field near the scoreboard.
