CLEMSON — Nothing went right for Clemson in its trip to NC State this year.
The Tigers lost all three games to the Wolfpack in the only sweep of the season by a 26-8 margin. Erik Bakich’s squad failed to knock in 21 runners in scoring position over three days while giving up a total of 41 hits to the Wolfpack team. Clemson could not plate crucial runs and seemed incapable of silencing NC State’s offensive bursts.
The sweep, similar to the six successful series preceding it, started with pitcher Aidan Knaak.
Knaak, last season’s NCBWA National Freshman Pitcher of the Year, held a perfect 6-0 record in 10 starts ahead of the series in Raleigh.
