DURHAM, N.C. — As he looked around the clubhouse moments into a third rain delay in Sunday’s ACC Championship Game, Clemson assistant coach Bradley LeCroy noticed everyone, but one player, was on their cell phone.
Clemson was three outs from winning its first ACC Championship in 10 years when lightning at the end of the eighth inning began a one-hour and 54 minute delay, the game’s third of the day. LeCroy knew it would not be good for the team to sit around staring at their cell phones, especially after Florida State scored eight runs in the bottom of the eighth to make what was a blowout, a very interesting game when play would resume in the ninth inning.
