CLEMSON - Clemson’s pitching staff – keyed by a first-time starter – delivered a gem, and the Tiger bats provided just enough on the scoreboard to clinch yet another winning weekend for Erik Bakich’s group, taking game two over Louisville on Friday, 2-1.
No. 2-ranked Clemson’s search for stability in the pitching rotation may have landed on an answer. Sophomore right-handed pitcher Drew Titsworth (4-0) delivered and more over the early evening hours.
His day started by stranding a runner on second base in each of the first two innings, and he saw his defense behind him – shortstop Andrew Ciufo in particular – proceed to aid him to a career-long of six innings.
