OFFICIAL ACC BASEBALL TOURNAMENT THREAD: CLEMSON vs North Carolina

CUTrevor 2022-05-24 10:44:47


The 12 seed Tigers play 8 seed UNC at 7:00, and I'll have live coverage from Charlotte for you right here! They will play No.1 seed VA Tech at 7:00 on Thursday, and the winner of the pool will play in the ACC Semifinal on Saturday with the Championship on Sunday. Each of the Tigers' first 2 games will be broadcasted on RSN/ACCN Extra.

ACC Player of the Year Max Wagner needs one HR to tie National Player of the Year Khalil Greene's Clemson single-season record of 27. Wagner is 2nd nationally, 2 HR's behind the leader, Ivan Melendez of Texas, who will likely edge out the Clemson sophomore for National Player of the Year.

Tigers are the visiting team as the lower seed, and they go 1-2-3 in the 1st. Wagner struck out.




SCORELESS M1.

I'd say the crowd is maybe 60/40 in favor of the Heels, which makes sense here in Charlotte. Still a good number of Clemson fans though.

Ugh Anglin gives up a leadoff double, and a one-out single puts the Heels up 1-0.

Good grief, Corbitt misjudged a fly to the track in left and dropped it. 2 runs score to make it 3-1. That's the second one he's misjudged, and the sun isn't even in his eyes! He ran in at first and then ran back. Last inning, he ran back on a shallow fly that Wagner caught.

Lol Corbitt makes a great diving catch! Lol he didn't misjudge that one. But his error with 2 outs gave the Heels the lead again.



TIGERS TRAIL 3-1 AFTER 2.

Anglin strikes out the leadoff man again but gives up back to back singles and a walk to load the bases with one out. Tigers are in serious trouble if he can't get out of this jam!

Good grief Troyer has one go off his glove at the wall in left for a double and a run. He just pinch hit for Corbitt to end the top half. Tigers having all kinds of problems in left tonight!

CUTrevor 2022-05-24 21:02:55


Gordon gets a K swinging for the 2nd out, and Ammons comes in with a runner on 3rd. Not sure what Monte is thinking here with the game well out of hand. Thursday's game may be meaningless for the ACC Tournament, but a win over VA Tech could be the difference between making the NCAA and not making it!

Reply
CUTrevor 2022-05-24 21:03:29


Ammons gets crushed but Grice makes a great catch off the wall in center.




TIGERS TRAIL 9-1 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

CUTrevor 2022-05-24 21:39:38


Garris gets hit by a pitch with 2 outs, Blackwell walks on full count and Taylor singles to make it 9-2, but Wagner strikes out for the 4th time to end the game. Tough one for the recently named ACC Player of the Year! He did have a walk tonight, so at least he reached base.



TIGERS LOSE 9-2.



They are eliminated from the ACC Tourney because of the pool play format, but unlike last year, they still have a lot to play for. They could very well make the NCAA Tourney if they knock off No.1 seed VA Tech on Thursday. The Hokies are ranked as high as No.2 in the nation.

I'll have post-game interviews shortly!
