CLEMSON – A balk-off is just as good as a walk-off.
UNC pitcher Joey Lancelloti balked with one out and the winning run at third in the bottom of the ninth Saturday afternoon, scoring Elijah Henderson as Clemson defeated No. 3 North Carolina 3-2 at Tiger Field in the first game of a doubleheader.
Clemson improved to 10-3 overall and 1-0 in the ACC, while the Tar Heels dropped to 12-2 overall and 0-1 in ACC play.
Clemson trailed 2-1 heading into the ninth, but Michael Green singled to deep short to start the inning.
