CLEMSON – Finally.
Clemson scored in all but two innings and scored six in the bottom of the eighth to defeat Coastal Carolina 12-5 Sunday night at Doug Kingsmore to win the Clemson Regional and advance to a Super Regional for the first time since 2010.
In other words, one monkey off the back (advance to a Super) and one to go (advance to Omaha and the College World Series). The Tigers will host the winner of the Oklahoma St. Regional, which will either be Florida or Oklahoma St., in a best-of-three series next weekend.
Alden Mathes scored three times and drove in three and Jacob Hinderleider drove in three for the Tigers.
