OFFICIAL SATURDAY BASEBALL THREAD: NO.10 CLEMSON at VA Tech

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 17:42:09

Tigers have won 11 of last 12 and look to clinch their 6th straight ACC series at 7:00 on ACCN. I'll have live updates right here!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:09:25

Ingle and Taylor walk with one out! Ingle has reached base in 45 straight games.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:11:32

Grice strikes out looking. 2 on with 2 outs for Amick, who was 3-5 with 2 doubles yesterday.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:13:01

Ugh Amick strikes out swinging to end the inning.

SCORELESS M1.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:17:03

Gordon goes 1-2-3 with a K!

SCORELESS AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:23:20

Bertram leadoff walk on full count! 3rd walk already for Tigers. They had just one yesterday.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:24:13

Wright grounder moves Bertram to 2nd with one out. The hit and run saved them from a double play.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:24:29

Ugh Bertram caught stealing 3rd.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:25:52

I think Bertram was safe after watching the replay. He slid a little early too, but it looked like his hand was on the bag before the tag.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:26:57

Call overturned! Bertram on 3rd with one out for Blackwell!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:27:28

Ugh Blackwell strikes out swinging. Man on 3rd with 2 outs for Crighton.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:29:36

Ugh Crighton strikes out swinging on 3 pitches. Tigers were 7-12 with RISP and 2 outs yesterday, but they are 0-4 so far tonight with 4 K's.

SCORELESS M2.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:33:58

Good grief Gordon gives up a leadoff HR to put Hokies up 1-0. Tigers are 0-4 with RISP including a runner on 3rd last inning, and Hokies' first base runner is a homer.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:34:43

Gordon gets a couple foul outs and a line out to end the inning.

TIGERS TRAIL 1-0 AFTER 2.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:37:51

Cannarella leadoff single!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:39:52

Taylor singles! He has been on fire over the last 5 plus games. Corners with one out for Grice! He needs to put it in the outfield for a sac fly.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:41:46

GRICE DELIVERS!!! Single ties the game! Corners with one out for Amick, who struck out last time.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:44:08

Grice to 2nd on a wild pitch!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:44:47

Ugh Amick strikes out for the 2nd time. 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs for Bertram.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:45:45

BERTRAM DELIVERS!!! 2-out single scores 2 to put Tigers up 3-1! He was 4-5 yesterday.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:46:45

Bertram to 2nd on a failed pick-off attempt. RISP with 2 outs for Wright.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:47:53

WRIGHT DELIVERS!!! 2-out double makes it 4-1! Tigers had six 2-out hits in a row yesterday, and now they have three!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:48:30

New pitcher for Hokies.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:52:59

Blackwell strikes out swinging. Nice 2-out rally by the Tigers! They normally never score runs while Gordon is on the mound, which is why his record is so bad. Let's see if he can hold the lead and pick up his 2nd win!

TIGERS LEAD 4-1 M3.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:55:45

Gordon strikes out the leadoff man!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 18:57:06

Gordon goes 1-2-3!

TIGERS LEAD 4-1 AFTER 3.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:10:22

Ingle and Taylor single with 2 outs for Grice, who hit an RBI single with 2 outs last inning.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:11:09

Grice strikes out swinging for the second time with RISP.

TIGERS LEAD 4-1 M4.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:13:32

Gordon gives up a leadoff single.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:15:56

Ugh full-count double gives Hokies 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:20:56

Good grief Gordon walks the next batter on full count to load the bases with no outs! So much for him getting a win tonight.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:22:00

Tigers get a huge out at home! Bases still loaded with one out. Be a miracle if Gordon gets out of this jam.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:22:47

Ugh 2-run single makes it 4-3 with 2 on and one out.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:23:56

Gordon gives up another single, but Taylor throws the runner out at the plate! Huge! 2 on with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:27:09

Gordon gets a fly to end the inning. Could have been worse! Tigers still in front thanks to Taylor's throw to the plate from left.

TIGERS LEAD 4-3 AFTER 4.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:31:08

AMICK LEADOFF DOUBLE!! He struck out the last two times with RISP. Would have been nice to have that double then!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:32:29

Good grief Bertram pops up a sac bunt attempt. He's been red-hot too, going 4-5 last night. RISP with one out for Wright, who hit a 2-out RBI double last time.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:35:02

Wright walks on full count! 8-pitch at bat. 2 on with one out for Blackwell.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:42:25

Ugh Blackwell grounds into a double play to end the inning. Huge missed opportunity with the leadoff double. Tigers would have scored on the double play if Bertram hadn't popped up the bunt.

TIGERS LEAD 4-3 M5.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:43:17

Gordon gives up a leadoff single and strikes out the next batter.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:44:51

Gordon gets a fly and a K swinging to end the inning! Well, at least he's eligible for the win if the Tigers can score some more runs or hold the lead. I didn't think Gordon was going to make it through 5 after the last inning.

TIGERS LEAD 4-3 AFTER 5.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:54:58

Crighton, Cannarella and Ingle go 1-2-3 for the first time tonight.

TIGERS LEAD 4-3 M6.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:56:00

Ugh Gordon gives up another leadoff double. Time to pull him!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:58:52

Ugh single ties the game. Looks like it's gonna be another no decision or loss for Gordon. He was up 0-2 in the count and the batter fouled off 6 straight pitches!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 19:59:31

Clayton in from the pen. Should have brought him in after the double like I said.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:03:06

Sac bunt moves the runner to 2nd with one out.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:04:00

Grounder moves the runner to 3rd with 2 outs. No wild pitch!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:07:27

Hokies' head coach just got tossed after a called ball! Lol

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:08:13

Great play by Ingle on a slow grounder to save a run!

TIED 4-4 AFTER 6.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:17:37

Taylor, Grice and Amick go 1-2-3. I knew this was gonna be a close game after the blowout last night.

TIED 4-4 AT THE STRETCH.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:18:42

Clayton gives up a one-out single.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:20:22

Double play ends the inning! Time for the bats to wake up!

TIED 4-4 AFTER 7.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:27:42

New pitcher for Hokies, Bertram draws a leadoff walk on 4 pitches! We'll see if Wright bunts him over. He's been hitting well though. Has a double tonight. I think after 4 straight balls, I'd let Wright hit and see if he can't get another walk.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:29:58

Good grief Wright grounds into a double play. I was wrong, should have bunted!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:31:14

Blackwell walks on full count. Too bad they didn't have Wright sac bunt! 2 down for Crighton with Cannarella on deck.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:32:55

Blackwell steals 2nd. Need a 2-out hit!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:33:19

Ugh Crighton pops up.

TIED 4-4 M8.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:36:01

Clayton gets the leadoff man on a bunt.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:38:12

Ugh Clayton walks the next batter on 4 pitches.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:41:26

Clayton gets a K swinging. Man on with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:41:55

Ugh runner to 2nd on a wild pitch. Clayton intentionally walks the batter. 2 on with 2 outs.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:42:30

Grounder ends the inning! Top of the lineup for the Tigers.

TIED 4-4 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:46:55

CANNARELLA LEADOFF DOUBLE!!! Ingle needs to bunt him to 3rd.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:48:26

Ingle singles! Corners with no outs for Taylor, the Tigers' hottest hitter over the last 6 games! Gotta get this run across!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:54:13

TAYLOR DELIVERS!!! Infield single on full count puts Tigers up 5-4! Still no outs with 2 on for Grice!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:54:48

New pitcher for Hokies.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:57:59

Grice grounds out. Corners with one out for Amick. He needs to drive one into the outfield for a sac fly insurance run! He doubled last time.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 20:59:35

AMICK DELIVERS!!! He doubles again to make it 6-4! Big insurance run! 2nd and 3rd with one out for Bertram.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:01:53

Bertram intentionally walked. Bases loaded with one out for Wright! Gotta get at least a sac fly here for one more run.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:03:30

Another pitching change for the Hokies.

Thexoach 2023-05-13 21:05:04

Tigers coming through when it counts

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:06:44

Wright up 3-0!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:07:53

Wright walks in a run on full count! Tigers lead 7-4 with bases loaded and one out for Blackwell!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:09:07

BLACKWELL DELIVERS!!! Single scores 2 more to make it 9-4! Blackwell is thrown out at 2nd though. Man on 3rd with 2 outs for Crighton. Tigers can save Ammons for tomorrow now!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:12:11

Another pitching change for Hokies.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:13:09

Crighton lines out to end the inning. What a rally!

TIGERS LEAD 9-4 M9.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:14:56

Interesting, Bakick is bringing in Ammons to start the 9th. I would have saved him for tomorrow with the 5-run lead! Hopefully he won't throw too many pitches.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:17:21

Ammons gives up a leadoff single on full count.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:24:58

Good grief, Ammons gives up back to back homers to make it 9-7 with no outs! Should have saved him like I said! Clayton was pretty settled in. Hughes comes in from the pen to try to close it.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:26:54

Hughes gets a K swinging! One down.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:29:55

Ugh Hughes gives up a single on full count. Tying run at the plate with one out, and this batter is 2-2 with a HR and a double tonight!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:30:56

Good grief Hughes behind in the count 2-0. Throw strikes!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:34:24

Unbelievable! Single on full count gives Hokies corners with one out and the winning run at the plate. The guy who just singled is 3-3 with a HR and a double tonight.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:34:57

Hokies bring in a pinch hitter. Double play would be nice!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:35:38

Ugh Tristan Smith comes in from the pen. I don't have much confidence in him to save the day.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:40:10

RIDICULOUS!!! Smith gives up a gap double on a 1-2 pitch to make it 9-8. Tying run on 3rd, winning run on 2nd with one out.

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:40:43

Intentional walk loads the bases with one out. Gotta have a K, pop up or an out at the plate!

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:43:38

Good grief chopper up the middle, and the Tigers miss the double play by a hair, but the umps might call interference on the runner at 2nd running into Bertram! It's either tied or the Tigers win if the interference call stands. You can't make this stuff up!

Thexoach 2023-05-13 21:50:07

Are we tied or extra innings or is it overr

CUTrevor 2023-05-13 21:50:21

The interference call stands! Tigers win! WHEW what a crazy finish. Tigers avoid disaster by the skin of their teeth! The Hokies' head coach was ejected earlier and is probably losing his mind in the locker room. Lol

TIGERS CLINCH SERIES 9-8!!!

They have won 12 of their last 13 and will go for the sweep tomorrow at 3:00 on ACCN! Tigers have won two straight one-run games now after losing 5 straight earlier in the season.
