DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Drew Wharton and Chris Williams homered during a six-run sixth inning, and Clemson beat Miami 7-1 on Thursday night at the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
Kyle Wilkie and Seth Beer each had run-scoring singles during the big inning that helped the second-seeded Tigers (45-13) advance to the semifinals. Clemson will play the North Carolina State-Florida State winner on Saturday.
The Tigers put together big innings in both of their tournament games. They scored an ACC Tournament-record 17 runs in the fourth inning of their 21-4 rout of Notre Dame on Wednesday.
Wharton led off the sixth with a solo homer off starter Jeb Bargfeldt to break a 1-all tie. Wilkie and Beer had back-to-back RBI singles, and came around on Williams' drive to right off reliever Frankie Bartow.
Cloonan hit a run-scoring triple in the fourth for the seventh-seeded Hurricanes (28-26).
