OFFICIAL FRIDAY BASEBALL THREAD: CLEMSON vs. UCF

CUTrevor 2023-02-24 12:07:10


The Tigers are 4-0, and Ryan Ammons will make his second career start today. The Tigers are 11th in Power Five team batting average, 19th in runs scored, 14th in ERA and 2nd in double plays per game. Benjamin Blackwell leads the nation in steals per game (2.0), and the Tigers lead the nation in that category as well!

First pitch is at 4:00, and I'll have live coverage from DKS right here!

Line drive off Blackwell’s glove at short. Scored as an infield hit. 2 on with one out brings a visit from Belanger.

Good grief Ammons gives up a walk on full count to load the bases and then a walk on 4 pitches to make it 2-0! What happened after he struck out the side looking in the 1st?? Still just one out.

WHEW! Ball hit to the fence in dead center, but freshman Cam Cannarella makes the catch above the fence! That would have been a grand slam last weekend, but like I said earlier, the air is muggy and heavy today with little wind.



TIGERS TRAIL 2-0 M2.

Of course, Cannarella leads off the bottom half after the great play. Lol He hit a line drive to center, but the defender was playing in and made the catch.

Good grief another rain delay here in the 9th with the game tied!

I’m out of here because the odds are they are going to sit here for an hour and then postpone it until tomorrow! I’ll keep you posted though.


Reply
CUTrevor 2023-02-24 19:50:58


As I expected, they have postponed the game until tomorrow! Play will resume at 1:00 with 2 on and no outs for the Knights in the top of the 9th. Game 2 will begin about 40 mins after the first game ends.


POSTPONED TIED 2-2 TOP 9TH.

Reply
CUTrevor 2023-02-25 12:48:31


Tigers resumed play at 1:00 and suffered their first loss of the season. The Knights had 2 on with no outs in the top of the 9th when play was stopped. An errant throw by Ingle to 2nd on a sac bunt gave them the go-ahead run on 2nd. Lindley was on the mound last night, but Smith took over today and gave up a single to his first batter, then hit two batters to give up 2 runs.

Taylor struck out, Hall grounded out and Bertram struck out in the bottom of the 9th.


TIGERS LOSE 4-2.


Game 2 will begin at about 2:30.
