OFFICIAL GAME 1 THREAD: #13 CLEMSON vs #8 Louisville

CUTrevor 2019-04-05 14:09:49


Davis Sharpe will be on the mound tonight at 6:00. Last Friday he did not hit when he pitched up in Blacksburg, but I’d be surprised if that’s the case again tonight. He had 2 of the Tigers’ 4 hits, including a HR, and scored 2 of the Tigers’ 3 runs against No.4 UGA on Tuesday.

The Tigers and Cards are tied for 2nd in the ACC at 9-3, one game behind NC State for 1st. As always, I’ll have live coverage and play-by-play right here!

We’re underway here at DK! Davis Sharpe is not hitting again for the 2nd straight start. He’s beenone of the Tigers’ best hitters, but I guess Monte wanted him to focus on just pitching.

Ugh Sharpe gets the first 2 with a grounder and a K but hits the batter BARELY on a 2-2 count. Next batter hits a gap double to put Cards on the board. Can’t give this team any freebies!

TEO LEADOFF DOUBLE!! McDonald would definiately bunt here, but I doubt Monte will.

Ugh Henderson squared on the first 2 pitches but pulled back the first for a strike and fouled the next. Tigers have to be able to bunt in these situations! It cost them the Notre Dame series in the 9th on Sunday.

Teo gets on with a K wild pitch to start the 7th but is caught stealing 2nd. Looked like he was safe from where I stand. Either way, an acrobatic tag.

TIGERS WIN 5-1!!!

They take a one-game lead on Louisville for 2nd in the ACC. May be in 1st depending on what NC State did. Great way to start the O&W Game weekend!

I’ll have interviews shortly.
