OFFICIAL FRIDAY BASEBALL THREAD: CLEMSON at No.11 Boston College

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 12:15:34

The Tigers have won 9 of their last 11 and look to win their 4th straight ACC series, 3rd on the road! Somehow, their RPI went down from 22 to 23 after a road sweep at NC State and 15-5 run-rule win over Kennesaw State in 7 innings on Tuesday.

Due to weather, they'll play a doubleheader today. First pitch is at 2:00, and I'll have live updates right here!

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 13:23:46

TIGERS WIN 9-7!!!

Grice was 3-5 with a HR and 2 doubles! Wright hit a big 3-run HR, and Amick was 2-5 with a double and a RBI. Huge win for the Tigers! Hopefully that will give them some momentum for tonight's game and they can clinch the series with Grice on the mound tomorrow for another road sweep! If the Tigers can even win 2 of 3 this weekend, they have a legit shot to host a Regional as hot as they are with home series against Louisville and UNC left! They have won 10 of their last 12.

Next game will begin at about 6:00!

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 17:30:47

We've got a pitchers' duel here in game 2! Gordon has gone 1-2-3 in the first 3 innings, and the BC pitcher has gone 1-2-3 in the first 4 innings.

SCORELESS M4.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 17:36:36

Ugh of course, as soon as I post that, Gordon gives up a leadoff single. He was perfect first 3 innings.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 17:37:09

Gordon strikes out the next two batters, but the runner stole 2nd and a 2-out single gives BC a 1-0 lead.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 17:39:00

Gordon gets a pop up to end the inning. I swear Gordon has the worst luck! He'll pitch great but they won't score for him. Or he'll pitch great for 4.2 innings and get a no decision.

TIGERS TRAIL 1-0 AFTER 4.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 17:40:33

Grice, Amick and Bertram go 1-2-3. Tigers haven't had a base runner in 5 innings!

TIGERS TRAIL 1-0 M5.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 17:50:58

TIGERS TRAIL 2-0 AFTER 5.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 17:52:26

Good grief Wright, Corbitt and Blackwell go 1-2-3. BC pitcher is perfect through 6 innings!

TIGERS TRAIL 2-0 M6.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:07:14

Ugh Gordon gets a fly and a K and then gives up a 2-out HR to make it 3-0. Fly ends the inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 3-0 AFTER 6.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:08:39

Cannarella leadoff single! Tigers' first base runner of the game.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:09:36

Ingle reaches on an error! Just like that, the Tigers could tie the game with a HR! Taylor, Grice and Amick coming up with no outs.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:11:41

Tigers finally get to the Eagles' bullpen! Hopefully they'll have better luck with this pitcher.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:15:01

Ugh Taylor strikes out swinging on full count, and Grice strikes out swinging on 3 pitches. Cannarella stole 3rd to make it corners with 2 outs for Amick.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:16:13

WILD PITCH!!! Tigers finally on the board 3-1 with 2 outs. Cannarella stealing 3rd was huge!

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:17:12

TIGERS TRAIL 3-1 AT THE STRETCH.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:55:04

TIGERS TRAIL 3-1 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 18:58:18

Corbitt, Cannarella and Ingle go 1-2-3 to end the game. That game flew by! Lasted just over 2 hours. Tigers went 1-2-3 in every inning but one! Amazing they weren't shut out. Great job by Gordon and Hughes, but the Eagles' pitchers were just a little better. Rubber match is tomorrow at 2:00!

TIGERS LOSE 3-1.
