OFFICIAL GAME 2 THREAD: #11 CLEMSON vs #10 Dallas Baptist

CUTrevor 2018-02-24 11:58:26


Brooks Crawford gets the start at 1:00. Jake Higginbotham will start the second game of the double-header.

Jolly, Cromwell and Williams have been on fire, batting .571, .533 and .526 respectively! Last night's game was big for Wharton and Byrd. The two only had one hit between them entering the game and went 5-9 with 4 RBI's. Wharton was hitless and went 3-4 with a homer!

I'll cover as much of game one as I can. The basketball game is at 3:00, so it will be difficult to keep tabs on both simultaneously, but I do the best I can!

DBU just scored its first run in the top of the 7th off of Strider, who was superb in his first appearance last Saturday against William and Mary.

TIGERS LEAD 8-1 BOTTOM 7TH.

I'm at the basketball game now but will try to keep you abreast of the rest of the baseball game. Tigers seem to have it in hand. Knock on wood! After the post-game interviews here at Littlejohn, I'll head over to Doug Kingsmore for the second game of the double-header.

Davidson scored on a Wilkie single in the 7th to make it 9-1, and that's where we stand in the top of the 9th. Beer is 0-4 today with a strike out in his last at bat. He was 1-5 last night. Pretty crazy the Tigers have hung 21 runs on the board with Beer going 1-9!

TIGERS WIN 9-1!!! They remain undefeated at 6-0 and will go for their second weekend sweep at approximately 5:00 this evening. Dallas Baptist was ranked as high as #10 coming into the series.

Strider closed out the game on the mound for the Tigers, allowing just one run in 3.0 innings. Crawford was outstanding, going 5.0 innings and allowing zero runs with 3 hits, 5 K's and no walks. Mitchell Miller and Carson Spiers also combined for one inning.
