GREENVILLE — When Bradley LeCroy saw Patrick Cromwell play for the first time on a recruiting trip to California last summer, he called head coach Monte Lee up and asked him if he could offer him even though the Clemson head coach had not seen him play. Lee told Bradley to go ahead, and Cromwell accepted.
Lee’s faith in LeCroy’s evaluation and in Cromwell paid off on Saturday when the junior college transfer took a 2-1 offering from South Carolina’s Tyler Johnson over the wall in right field in the top of the ninth inning. The home run was part of a three-run inning in the 12th-ranked Tigers’ 8-7 come-from-behind win over rival and No.
