Wharton making the most of his opportunities

Sometimes in baseball all a player needs is one opportunity, and that was exactly the case for Clemson senior left fielder Drew Wharton. 11th-ranked Clemson swept No. 10 Dallas Baptist University this weekend with a score of 9-1 and 3-2 on Saturday in a doubleheader and a 12-1 win Friday night at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.

Friday night, Wharton hit his first career home run which was a solo shot to left field and was 3-for-4 with two runs batted in. On Saturday, he hit two more three-run home runs and went 3-for-7 in both games combined with six RBIs.
