If Clemson was going to earn a spot in Sunday’s ACC Championship Game, it was going to have to have someone step up on the pitching mound.
As it turned out, the Tigers had two pitchers step up.
Talan Bell threw 3 2/3 innings to open the game for the 12th-ranked Tigers, while reliever Jacob McGovern came on in the sixth inning and closed it for his second save of the year, as No. 5 seed Clemson took down No. 1 seed Georgia Tech, 9-4, in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament.
“It was more McGovern,” Georgia Tech head coach Danny Hall said.
