OFFICIAL GAME 3 THREAD: CLEMSON vs. Virginia

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:02:57

It's tied 2-2 after 4 innings. The Tigers scored a run in each of the first 2 innings to lead 2-0. The first run came on a Brewer full-count walk and a double by Parker. In the 2nd, Hawkins was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. Teo and Henderson singled, and Hawkins scored on a throwing error.

The Hoos answered with 2 runs in the 4th to tie. Hoffman gave up a one-out double and a homer to make it 2-2, and that's where we stand!

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:05:02

Hoffman gives up a leadoff single to start the 5th.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:05:45

Grounder moves the runner to 2nd with one out. Gilbert comes in early from the pen. His first appearance of the weekend.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:06:52

Ugh Gilbert gives up a single on 0-2 count to put the Hoos up 3-2. The Tigers just can't find a reliever to get out of high leverage situations without giving up runs!

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:07:29

Gilbert gets a couple grounders to end the inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 3-2 M5.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:07:59

Meredith leadoff walk on 4 pitches!

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:08:20

Brewer singles! Corners with no outs for Parker.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:08:50

Ugh Parker strikes out looking. New pitcher for Hoos.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:09:40

GRICE DELIVERS!!! Single ties the game at 3! Two on with one out for Hack.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:10:18

Grice thrown out at 2nd on a double steal. Man on 3rd for Hack with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:11:34

HACK DELIVERS!!! 2-out double puts the Tigers ahead 4-3! Man, he's a clutch 2-out hitter. He had a 2-out, 2-RBI single on Friday.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:12:01

Hawkins strikes out looking on full count.

TIGERS LEAD 4-3 AFTER 5.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:12:40

Gilbert gives up a 2-out walk but nothing else.

TIGERS LEAD 4-3 M6.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:13:18

Teo, Wagner and Henderson go 1-2-3.

TIGERS LEAD 4-3 AFTER 6.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:14:23

Ugh Hoos get a runner with one out on a throwing error by Henderson at 2nd.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:14:39

Runner steals 2nd. RISP with one out.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:15:10

Gilbert gets a K swinging. RISP with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:19:35

Ugh 2-out single ties the game. ERRORS!

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:20:05

Gilbert gives up another single. 2 on with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:20:55

Good grief, Gilbert walks the bases loaded on 4 pitches! Still 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:24:11

Good grief, Hoos get an inside-out, weak base hit into shallow left on an 0-2 count to go ahead 6-4! Tigers would be out of the inning with a 4-3 lead if not for that error by Henderson.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:25:12

Gilbert gets a K swinging on full count to finally end the inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 6-4 AT THE STRETCH.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:31:50

Meredith hit by a pitch to lead off the 7th. Brewer up with Parker on deck. Brewer is 1-2 with a walk and has scored twice.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:33:40

Good grief Brewer lines into a double play on full count. Terrible luck! Brewer hit a rope, but it was right at the 2nd baseman with the shift on. On traditional double play depth, that's a single. 2 outs for Parker.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:38:21

Parker strikes out swinging.

TIGERS TRAIL 6-4 AFTER 7.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:39:10

Clayton starts the 8th for Gilbert. He had a rough game yesterday, giving up 4 hits and 2 runs in 1.2 innings.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:41:13

Clayton gives up a 2-out single but gets a grounder to end the inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 6-4 M8.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:46:28

Grice leads off with a single.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:52:21

Hack hit by a pitch on full count. 2 on with no outs for Hawkins.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:52:52

Wild pitch! Runners to 2nd and 3rd with no outs! Hawkins has to at least get a sac fly here.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:53:39

HAWKINS DELIVERS!! Ground out makes it 6-5! Man on 2nd with one out for Ingle, pinch hitting for Teo. Ingle pinch hit last night and struck out on 3 pitches.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:57:44

Ingle flies out, Hack tags to 3rd. Two outs for Wagner, who is 0-3 with a K.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 14:58:39

Ugh Wagner goes after the first pitch and flies out to strand the tying run at 3rd. At least they cut the lead to one, and they'll have the top of the lineup in the 9th.

TIGERS TRAIL 6-5 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:00:42

Good grief, fielding error by Grice at 1st puts the leadoff man on.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:01:54

Clayton gets the force out against the Hoos' best hitter. Man on with one out.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:03:06

Hack throws the runner out stealing 2nd! Big out! Nobody on with 2 down.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:04:55

Clayton gets a K swinging to end the inning! He's done a good job today, redeeming himself for yesterday.

TIGERS TRAIL 6-5 M9.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:06:16

Urban pinches for Henderson. Wish he had pinched for Teo instead of Ingle last inning! Leadoff man Meredith is on deck.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:08:53

Ugh Urban strikes out swinging. Meredith up with Brewer on deck.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:10:16

Ugh Meredith smokes one right at the right fielder. Tigers down to their last out with Brewer.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:11:45

Brewer singles! Parker at the plate representing the winning run! He is 1-4 today with an RBI double.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:14:54

Parker hit by a pitch on 2-2! Grice up to the plate with the tying run on 2nd and 2 outs! Grice is 2-4 with an RBI today.

CUTrevor 2021-04-11 15:20:02

Ugh Grice flies out on 3-1 to end the game. Tough way to lose the series! Costly error by Henderson that led to 3 runs was the difference, but the Tigers still had the two guys up at the plate that they want with a chance to win the game in the 9th. That snaps a streak of 3 straight ACC series wins for the Tigers.

I'll have post-game interviews shortly!

TIGERS LOSE RUBBER MATCH 6-5.
