CLEMSON – Injuries are going to be part of Clemson’s story this season.
Friday starter Tristan Smith returned from injury on Friday and pitched 2 2/3 innings, giving up four runs in Clemson’s 6-4 victory over Pitt. However, just one of those runs was earned. But Smith wasn’t the big story, as the Tigers are dealing with more injury news after it was announced last week that starting shortstop Andrew Ciufo is out for the season.
Head coach Erik Bakich confirmed following Friday’s game that Will Taylor, who injured his wrist when he slid into the fence chasing a foul ball Sunday, will be out for about a month.
