Twice on Sunday No. 16 Clemson was robbed of a run.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, with the game tied and with one out, Bo Majkowski stood 90-feet from home plate with the go-ahead run. Jordan Greene did what he was supposed to do, he put the ball in play, hitting the baseball to left field.
Majkowski tagged up and headed home. But Duke left fielder Kyle Gallagher made a perfect throw on a one hopper to home plate, gunning down the Clemson runner.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, with the Tigers trailing by a run thanks to Matt Mervis’ solo home run in the top of the inning, catcher Kyle Wilkie led off with a long ball to deep left field for what looked like a game-tying home run, instead Gallagher robbed the Tigers again of another run, this time going up and climbing the wall to keep it in the ballpark.
