NC State takes advantage of three Clemson errors to take opener

CLEMSON – Clemson baseball is facing its first real adversity of the season.

NC State scored four runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings and held on to defeat No. 2 Clemson 11-8 Friday night at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. NC State improves to 19-12 overall and 9-7 in the ACC, while Clemson falls to 28-5 overall and 10-3 in ACC play.

The Tigers now have a two-game losing streak—their first of the season—which comes after the team blew an 11-1 lead in what was an eventual win at Notre Dame last weekend.

NC State started the scoring with a solo homer by Josh Hogue in the first, but the Tigers answered quickly in the bottom of the second.
