Tigers can’t fight their way back against Austin Peay

It was obvious it was not going to be Clemson’s night from the outset Friday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.

In Game 1 of their three-game series with Austin Peay, Tigers’ starter Jacob Hennessy gave up four runs and six hits in the first two innings. It was all the Governors needed in downing No. 5 Clemson, 6-3.

Friday marked just the second time in the last 13 games Clemson has come up on the wrong side of the scoreboard.

The Governors (30-20) took a 4-0 lead in the first two innings thanks to two home runs and two RBI singles.
