CONWAY, S.C. - Clemson scored a run in the second inning and never relinquished the lead in its 8-4 victory over No. 7 Coastal Carolina at Springs Brooks Stadium on Tuesday night. The Tigers improved to 29-20, while the Chanticleers dropped to 33-15. The two teams split the home-and-home season series. Bryce Clavon’s squeeze bunt in the second inning scored the game’s first run, then Tryston McCladdie lined a two-run single in the third inning. In the fifth inning, Rex Watson grounded a run-scoring single, but Clemson escaped a bases-loaded jam to maintain its 3-1 lead. Nate Savoie laced a two-out double in the top of the sixth inning to score a run and extend his hitting streak to 13 games. Savoie also scored when Luke Gaffney’s ground ball was booted. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Walker Mitchell belted a two-out, two-run double to cut Clemson’s lead in half. Gaffney blooped a run-scoring single in the eighth inning, then Savoie scored on a wild pitch later in the frame. In the ninth inning, Jason Fultz Jr. laid down a squeeze bunt to score a run. Jack Crighton led Clemson’s 14-hit attack with four hits to tie his career high. Drew Titsworth (4-3) pitched 2.0 scoreless innings in relief with two strikeouts to earn the win, while Coastal Carolina starter Jackson Smalletts (0-2) suffered the loss. The Tigers host No. 12 Florida State in a three-game series, beginning Friday at 6 p.m. on ACC Network Extra. |

Huge road win! They've been playing much better over the last few weeks. Came within a hair of winning the series with No.5 UNC and at No.9 UVA. And having Purify back from injury is big. Between tonight and the series win over No.13 BC, they have some nice momentum going into the FSU series this weekend! |
