After an amazing comeback against VA Tech, winning 10-9 in the Semifinal, the Tigers were once again pitted against nemesis FSU in the Championship.
The Tigers were shutout 1-0 for 6 innings, but Johnson hit a 2-run HR in the 7th to give the Tigers their first lead! It looked like the Noles might walk it off in the bottom of the 7th after getting the first two on base, but McCubbin retired the next 3 batters!
I was at the ACC Championship in the Tigers' first full season up at Louisville, and it was a 1-0 heartbreaker to Duke. They've come close a couple times since, and now they finally have their first title! It's so ironic that that they won it in the first year without Cagle!
The Tigers will once again host an NCAA Regional, playing familiar foe USC Upstate on Friday at 4:30 on ACCN. Also in the Clemson Regional are Kentucky and Northwestern, with which the Tigers are also familiar.
