OFFICIAL SATURDAY BASEBALL THREAD: NO.6 CLEMSON vs. North Carolina

CUTrevor 2023-05-20 11:23:53


The Tigers blew out the Heels on Thursday and won a tight one last night, their 3rd straight one-run win, to clinch their 7th straight ACC series and the 2nd best record in ACC! They have won 16 of their last 17 and look to win their 12th straight game to wrap up the regular season with a 3rd straight ACC sweep. Grice will be on the mound as the usual Sunday starter. He has been outstanding his last few times out. Setting a couple career strike out records.

First pitch is at 1:00 on ACCN, and I'll have live coverage right here!

Cannarella grounds out, Ingle singles. He's reached base in 50 straight games!

Ugh Taylor strikes out on full count. He's suddenly ice cold! After going 20 for 33, he was 0-5 last night with 2 K's, including one with the bases loaded. That's baseball for you!

GRICE 2-RUN HR!!! Just like Thursday, a 2-out, 2-run HR in the 1st! His 14th of season puts Tigers up 2-0. That's how you help yourself out on the mound!

Good grief Taylor strikes out again, his 4th K last 2 games. He has gone from red hot to ice cold! RISP with 2 outs for Grice, who homered last time.

Cannarella singles and Ingle walks on 4 pitches to load the bases with one out, but Taylor strikes out and Grice flies out to strand em loaded. Taylor has gone from red-hot to ice-cold overnight! 0-5 with 2 K's last night, 0-3 with 3 K's today! A couple K's with bases loaded too! He was 20 for his last 33 before yesterday.



TIGERS LEAD 2-0 AFTER 5.

Grice gets a grounder and Hughes comes in from the pen with one out. What a game for Grice! Longest outing of his career, allowing just 4 hits and one run with 9 K's! Plus a 2-out HR for the Tigers' only 2 runs!

Hughes gets a fly, a K swinging on 3 pitches and another fly to end the game!



TIGERS SWEEP 3-1!!!



Grice pitched 7.1 innings, longest of his career, allowing just 4 hits and one run with 9 K's! He also hit a 2-out HR, team-leading 14th of season, for Tigers' first 2 runs. Tigers have swept last 3 ACC series and 4 of last 5. They have won 12 straight and 17 of 18, heading into ACC Tournament as the hottest team in America! 

I'll have post-game interviews posted shortly!
