Patrick Cromwell hit an RBI single in the eighth inning to score Logan Davidson and lift Clemson to a 3-2 win against Georgia Tech Friday afternoon in the ACC opener for both teams.
Jacob Hennessy pitched seven strong innings for the Tigers (13-1), while Ryan Miller earned the win with two scoreless innings to close out the game.
The Yellow Jackets (9-4) tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the eighth inning before Clemson’s leading hitter, Cromwell, put the Tigers back on top in the bottom of the eighth.
The Tigers had only three hits through the first seven innings, but Davidson and Seth Beer hit back-to-back singles to start the eighth, and Cromwell followed with an RBI single to give Clemson the lead.
