DURHAM, N.C – The fifth-seeded Clemson Tigers are heading to an ACC Championship game for the second time in three years after defeating the No. 4 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 8-4 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park Saturday in the semifinal round of the ACC Tournament.
The Durham Bull, mounted on the left field plaza, lit up twice Saturday afternoon as catcher Jacob Jarrell hit a grand slam and designated hitter Collin Priest launched a solo shot to account for five of the Tigers’ eight runs. After Georgia Tech’s defense put up three unanswered runs in two innings, Clemson stung the Jackets back, never losing the lead again.
