No. 20 Clemson struggled to move the bats throughout game one of a double header with third-ranked North Carolina on Saturday but rallied in the ninth to secure game one of the series.
The Tigers tallied just seven hits on the afternoon and struggled to get timely hits until the ninth. They fell 2-1 to the Tar Heels before scoring a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth with the winning run coming on a balk giving Clemson a 3-2 win.
Kier Meredith drove in the tying run with an RBI-single with one out before Elijah Henderson scored on a game-winning balk by Joey Lancellotti.
