Despite their struggles to get hot earlier this season, Clemson took control of Friday night’s ACC contest early on, taking game one of the Virginia Tech series with a score of 8-2 at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
The Tigers got on the board early, scoring five runs in the first thanks to a three-run triple by junior infielder Bryar Hawkins.
With the win, Clemson improves to 7-8 overall and 2-5 in ACC play.
Clemson’s Mat Clark earned the win, his first of the 2021 season, with four strikeouts, two hits and one run.
