OFFICIAL SUNDAY BASEBALL THREAD: CLEMSON vs. No.9 Florida State

CUTrevor 2022-04-24 11:49:24

The rubber match begins at 1:00, and I'll have live coverage right here! Max Wagner has homered twice in each of the last two games. He has homered in 5 straight games with 7 over that stretch, giving him 17 on the season, which ranks 4th nationally!

CUTrevor 2022-04-24 12:09:37

Freshman Billy Barlow gets his first weekend start after being the midweek starter all season, including both wins over No.10 UGA. I was going to ask Monte after the game if he might consider Barlow for the weekend rotation. He started Gilbert for the first time yesterday instead of Hoffmann.

CUTrevor 2022-04-24 14:12:31

Grice starts the 6th on the mound and he makes an error to put the leadoff man on. First pitching in a while for Grice. I thought he might get a midweek start this week.

CUTrevor 2022-04-24 14:14:06

Sac bunt moves the runner to 2nd and Grice walks the next batter on full count.

CUTrevor 2022-04-24 14:27:33

Corbitt sac bunts Wagner to 3rd! Tying RISP with one out for Grice, who hit a 3-run HR today. Need a sac fly to make up for the 2-run double he just gave up!
