Second year head coach Cliff Godwin is now 5-3 against the Atlantic Coast Conference in his career, including three road wins this season.
“Everyone wants to make a big deal about the ACC, but anytime you can go on the road and win is good,” Godwin said. “We just got on a bus and went and beat a good opponent.”
After putting up just one hit and no runs in Sunday’s loss, the Pirates bounced back with a 15-hit, eight-run performance.
“Sunday, the guy beat us and pitched better than our hitters were hitting,” Godwin said.
