Although it was still early, things were not looking good for top-seeded Clemson as it trailed No. 3 seed St. John’s midway through the elimination game Sunday in the Clemson Regional.
The Tigers were off to a slow start and struggling offensively. They did not get their first hit of the game until the fourth inning, thanks to a solo home run by outfielder Seth Beer.
Clemson’s starting pitcher Jacob Hennessy struggled on the mound in his first start in nearly a month, going 2 1/3 innings while allowing three runs on four hits with three strike outs.
