OXFORD, Miss. — Clemson saw its season end for a ninth straight year in an NCAA Regional Sunday as No. 4 seed Jacksonville State beat the No. 3 seed Tigers 9-2 in the Oxford (Miss.) Regional at Swayze Field in Oxford.
This is the first time under head coach Monte Lee they did not make it to the championship round of a regional.
As for what happened in Sunday’s game, the Gamecocks eliminated the Tigers thanks to a gutty pitching performance from starter Dylan Hathcock and missed opportunities by Clemson.
Trailing 4-2 in the bottom of third inning, the Tigers loaded the bases with one out on a walk by Grayson Byrd and back-to-back singles from Kyle Wilkie and Bryar Hawkins.
