CLEMSON – Clemson’s offense stared down the barrel of a frustrating evening, unable to crack Louisville’s lead.
Trailing 5-4 at the bottom of the seventh, Crighton’s three-run homer gave Clemson a lead it wouldn’t surrender, securing the first homer of his career and a 7-6 win for the Tigers.
Much like the Sunday loss to Stanford, Clemson fell into a hole early in the action. An early fielding error, paired with a walk, loaded the bases for Louisville.
The Cardinals capitalized on their opportunity to pounce early in this series, adding three runs before most fans settled into the seats.
