CUTrevor 2024-04-13 17:45:26


The Tigers have lost back to back games for the first time this season. If they lose tonight, it will be their first series loss of the season.

First pitch is at 8:00 on ACCN, and I'll have live updates right here!

Ugh sloppy errors early cost the Tigers a run. Error, double, error. Corners with one out.

Good grief Jarrell misses the tag at the plate. 2-0 with 2 on and one out. Great slide tp avoid the tag. That's why I've always said players who slide feet first are stupid! He would have been out for sure if he hadn't slid head first.

Nice play by Purify to redeem himself for the error. 2 down.

Another grounder ends the inning. Darden will throw a lot of ground balls,

Obertop reaches on an error but nothing else for the Tigers. 4 of the Tigers' first 7 batters have struck out.

Good grief second error of the game by Hinderleider and a 2-out double makes it 3-0. Would still be scoreless if not for the 3 errors by the Tigers' infield. Darden is doing his job.



TIGERS TRAIL 3-0 M3.

Darden gives up a couple singles for another run. He has really pitched well, but his counterpart has been even better, and errors have given State 3 runs.



TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 M5.

Nawrocki, Purify and Jarrell go 1-2-3. This pitcher is having his best game of the season.

Darden goes 1-2-3 with 2 K's. Wow, he's pitched a great game.

Taylor walks with one out and Wright singles! First time the Tigers have had 2 base runners in an inning.

Mathes grounds out, but the Tigers have finally gotten to State's bullpen. Corners with 2 outs for Obertop.

Obertop walks on full count! Bases loaded with 2 outs for Hinderleider, the tying run at the plate.

Ugh Hinderleider strikes out to strand em loaded, Big missed opportunity.

Darden goes 1-2-3 with 2 K's again! As well as he's pitched, he should have earned a win tonight.



TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 AT THE STRETCH.

CUTrevor 2024-04-13 20:55:23


Purify walked on full count, and Jarrell singled. Taylor has 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. Need a clutch hit or a walk here! Wright is on deck and would represent the tying run with his team-leading 14 HR's.

CUTrevor 2024-04-13 20:57:34


Ugh Taylor grounds out to strand em. Tigers stranded bases loaded last inning and 2nd and 3rd this inning. Wright will probably hit a leadoff HR next inning, and it would have tied the game if Taylor got on.



TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 AFTER 7.

Darden gives up a one-out single but nothing else. He's only allowed one earned run in 8 innings! It will be a shame if he gets stuck with a loss after this performance.



TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 M8.

CUTrevor 2024-04-13 21:08:18


Wright leadoff single on full count. Ugh if only Taylor had gotten on to load the bases, it would be 4-2 right now with the go-ahead run at the plate!

Ugh Obertop strikes out swinging. 2 on with one out for Hinderleider.

CUTrevor 2024-04-13 21:18:23


Good grief Hinderleider also strikes out. Bissetta pinches for Nawrocki with 2 on and 2 outs. I'm not a fan of this decision. Nawrocki could have made it 4-3 with one swing.

CUTrevor 2024-04-13 21:19:57


Runners to 2nd and 3rd on a wild pitch. Need a clutch 2-out hit from Bissetta!

Reply
CUTrevor 2024-04-13 21:24:17


Ugh Bissetta strikes out swinging to strand em on 2nd and 3rd. Like I said, I didn't like pinching for Nawrocki right there. 3 straight K's after the Tigers had 2 on with no outs! They stranded bases loaded in the 6th and now 2nd and 3rd in consecutive innings. Tigers are staring at their first shutout loss of the season. And wasted a gem by Darden on the mound.


TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

Darden gives up a leadoff single but retires the next 3! What a performance. Complete game with just one earned run on 105 total pitches. If the Tigers lose, this will be one of the best pitching performances ever in a loss!



TIGERS TRAIL 4-0 M9.

Cannarella grounds out. Tigers are down to their final out with a runner on 2nd and Taylor at the plate.

Ugh Taylor strikes out looking to end the game. 


TIGERS LOSE 4-0.


Tremendous outing by Darden wasted! First complete game by a Clemson pitcher this season, and it's their first shutout loss. No starter had gone more than 7 innings before tonight. Wright was the only hitter with a great game, going 3-4. Cannarella and Taylor combined were 0-9 with 3 K's. Cannarella's average has dropped to .316!

Tigers have lost 3 in a row and lose their first series of the season. They'll try to avoid the sweep tomorrow at 1:00.
