The ACC Tournament championship game between third-seeded Clemson and fourth-seeded Miami has been delayed from its original start time of Noon ET to 2 p.m. ET due to weather in the area.

The decision comes after the weather impacted the semifinal games Saturday. The semifinal game between Wake Forest and Miami had to be moved to Boshamer Stadium in Chapel Hill while Clemson’s game versus North Carolina was played at Durham Bulls Athletic Park, the home of the ACC Tournament.

The Tigers and Hurricanes both went 2-0 in their pool play games before the semifinals. Each team won fairly handily in those semifinal matchups. Miami won 7-2 over the No. 1 seed and No. 1 national-ranked Demon Deacons while Clemson beat the Tar Heels, 10-4.

Clemson has the most ACC Baseball Tournament titles with 10. Its most recent came in 2016. Miami has won only one conference tournament title since joining the ACC, coming in 2008. That title was won in Jacksonville, Fla., which was the last time the title was contested in Duval County.
