CLEMSON - Tigers head baseball coach Monte Lee was looking for one good inning to settle his team in the midst of the longest and only losing streak of Clemson’s 2022 season.
First, his team was looking for a lead on the weekend against Miami, ranked as high as No. 23 nationally, and No. 15-ranked Clemson (15-4, 1-2 ACC) achieved both goals in the early going Sunday -- and tacked on a lot more later -- in a 20-5 win over the Hurricanes (13-6, 2-1), breaking a four-game losing run.
On a 4-for-6 day at the plate overall, Tigers shortstop Benjamin Blackwell sent Miami starter Alex McFarlane’s first offering over the left field wall to take a 1-0 lead.
