Through the first 5 2/3 innings on Friday, Clemson’s Mack Anglin was nearly perfect.
The righty retired each of the first 17 batters he faced, getting six of them to strikeout, seven of them to ground out and then four to fly out in the Tigers’ 6-1 victory over Virginia at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.
It was perhaps the best single pitching performance by a Clemson pitcher since Sam Weatherly no-hit South Carolina through seven innings in Columbia on February 28, 2020.
It can be argued Anglin’s day against Virginia (14-15, 6-13 ACC) was even more impressive than Weatherly’s considering he was pitching a perfect game with two outs in the top of the sixth inning.
