OFFICIAL THURSDAY BASEBALL THREAD: NO.2 CLEMSON vs. No.17 Louisville

CUTrevor 2025-04-17 15:37:15


The Tigers are atop the ACC standings and have won all 5 of their ACC series. Aidan Knaak only gave up one run to a great Stanford lineup last week, and he'll face another potent lineup tonight. One through seven for Louisville bats over .300.

First pitch is at 7:00, and I'll have live coverage from DKS right here!
