DURHAM, N.C. — Clemson’s hope of winning a second ACC Championship in three years came crashing down on Sunday.
No. 3 seed North Carolina scored runs in five of the first six innings, including pushing across eight in the fifth, en route to a 14-4 win over No. 5 seed Clemson in the conference championship game.
The Tigers came in on a six-game winning streak, but for whatever reason, just didn’t play as well on Sunday as they had during the first three games of the ACC Tournament. Clemson made two errors that led to three unearned runs, including a rare miscue by Cam Cannarella in the bottom of the first that directly led to North Carolina’s first run.
