Grayson Byrd saved the day for No. 5 Clemson on Senior Day Sunday.
With its national seed hopes hanging in the balance, the junior took Harley Gollert’s 1-0 offering the opposite way to left centerfield, lifting the Tigers to a 3-2 victory in 11 innings over Austin Peay at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.
The win allowed Clemson to win the series over the upstart Governors 2 games to 1.
It was the Tigers (39-13) final home game of the regular season. Coincidentally, Clemson won its season-opener at Doug Kingsmore in walk-off fashion as Chris Williams singled in the game-winner in the bottom of the 10th inning to beat William & Mary on Feb.
