There was one lone bright spot in No. 2 Clemson’s 14-4 run-rule loss at No. 25 NC State on Thursday.
Transfer pitcher Michael Gillen made his Clemson debut, coming out of the bullpen to start the seventh inning.
The hard-throwing righthander struck out the very first hitter he faced looking, before giving up a fluky ground ball double that went off the glove of Jarren Purify at second. Gillen did hit the next hitter, but retired the next two he faced to escape the jam.
