With the pressure on for Clemson to win in hopes of possibly earning an NCAA Tournament bid, starting pitcher Mat Clark stepped up and led the Tigers to a 4-3 victory at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson Thursday night.
Before Thursday, Clark had been trying to find his way back as a consistent pitcher after suffering an injury in April. The sophomore hadn’t pitched over six innings since his injury, but he went 6 2/3 innings against the Demon Deacons, while allowing no earned runs off just four hits.
“Me sitting down there put a bump in the road,” the lefty said.
