Game 1: NC State 3 Clemson 2
Charlie Barnes tossed a solid seven innings giving up seven hits and holding the Pack to two runs, but it was not enough as the Tigers dropped the opening game of the series. Weston Jackson and Seth Beer put the Tigers on the bored early on with one run home runs in the second and fourth innings, respectively. Owen Griffith came in the bottom of the eight to close for the Tigers, but gave up the go ahead run on a wild pitch. Clemson had some chances to tie it up in the top of the ninth, but base running and controversial calls kept the Tigers from scoring.
