Freshman makes solid debut as Tigers take series

Though he was pitching in his first college game, Ty Olenchuk did not look like a guy who was making his first college appearance.

The Clemson freshman pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings Saturday, helping the 25th-ranked Tigers down Cincinnati, 5-2, at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson. Blake Wright led the Tigers at the plate with a double, which later led to a run. He also drove in a run during the afternoon game.

However, the story of the day belonged to Clemson’s freshman pitcher. Olenchuk allowed just two hits in his first career start.
