OFFICIAL SATURDAY BASEBALL THREAD: CLEMSON at No.9 Virginia

CUTrevor 2022-05-13 15:10:52


First pitch has been moved up to 5:15. As I wrote before, I think if the Tigers win one game this weekend, they will make not only the ACC Tourney but the NCAA Tourney as well. Wagner has homered in his last 2 games and is tied for 2nd in the nation with 23, just 2 HR's behind Texas's Ivan Melendez. Wagner is also 5th in the Power Five with his .395 batting average.

The good news is Corbitt is back in the lineup after breaking his finger in the Louisville series, but Ingle is not. He left the game on Tuesday in the 2nd inning. French will be behind the plate again. I'll have live updates right here!

Tigers lead 4-0 after 2 innings! They jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the 1st. Taylor singled and scored from 2nd on a Wright single, and then Corbitt hit a 2-run HR in his first game back since he broke his finger in the Louisville series! French led off the 2nd with a homer, his 3rd in a week!



TIGERS LEAD 4-0 AFTER 2.

They need to get through the 5th inning before it starts raining! Don't want this 4-0 lead to be erased.

Good grief Anglin walks the bases loaded on full count. HUGE at bat in this game coming up!

Good grief all the sudden Anglin can't throw a strike! He walks in a run on 4 pitches to make it 4-3. His 4th walk of the inning! Still bases loaded with 2 outs.

Lol good grief wild pitch ties the game. This team is so damn frustrating! 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs.

Lol rain delay with the game tied. Hoos have 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs and a 3-1 count. Well, maybe that will at least give Anglin a chance to get his head on straight. The bull pen should be ready to go as well.

Play will be halted until at least 7:30.

They have suspended the game until Saturday morning at 11:00 am. Game 2 will begin following the conclusion of game 1, which is tied 4-4 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 4th. Hoos have 2nd and 3rd with a 3-1 count.

They finally resumed play, and Lindley threw a ball on his first pitch to walk in a run. Then he gave up a single for 2 more runs. Tigers had a 4-0 lead going into the 4th and gave up 5 walks and 7 runs.

It's raining again in Charlottesville, and it looks like game 2 is delayed until at least 6:00. They may have to play a doubleheader tomorrow. Honestly, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they only play 1 or 2 games this weekend. That would be better than being swept, and they would definitely make the ACC Tourney if they sweep BC at home next weekend.

I'll keep you updated right here!

Game 2 has been rescheduled for Sunday at 10:00 am. They will decide whether to play game 3 and when after game 2, depending on the weather.
