OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: #20 CLEMSON at Furman

CUTrevor 2019-03-05 14:19:24


6'4 freshman righty Jackson Lindley from TL Hanna High in Anderson will make his first start tonight at 6:00 at Fluor Field in Greenville. He has appeared a couple times out of the bull pen this season. The Tigers beat the Gamecocks 11-5 at Fluor Field on Saturday and have won at least 9 straight games there. As always, I'll have live play-by-play and post-game interviews right here!

About to start here in Greenville on a FRIGID evening! Wind is blowing out strong to right. Unfortunately, Furman is starting a lefty, so Davidson will bat right. The 2 lefties in the lineup could see one fly out to right though! Byrd has 2 HR's this season and has been hot lately. Knock on wood!

Lindley gives up a 2-out single, and Monte brings in Hennessy from the pen. Too bad for Lindley, he won't be able to get the win in his first start.

Tigers finally get to the pen! Furman starter is pulled at 85 pitches. Maybe they'll have better luck with the new pitcher. Only 3 hits in the first 5.2 innings. Davidson will bat lefty now with the righty on the mound, so maybe he'll take one out to right with the strong wind.
