DURHAM - Clemson has been on the wrong side of some postseason classics.
In Thursday night's thriller in the ACC quarterfinal, that script was flipped.
The Tigers held on to avenge a regular-season sweep over North Carolina State, clinching a semifinal berth with a 7-6 victory.
Inside the Durham Bulls' ballpark, the crowd was painted in a sea of red, with orange blips hard to spot at first glance. The stress on both sides was magnified with each lead change and swing of the bat.
In the end, the small pockets of orange roared a thunderous sigh of relief as the Tigers' dance in Durham continued.
