Youth Movement: Freshmen help power Tigers past 49ers

CLEMSON – Clemson’s youth movement continues to pay dividends.

Head coach Monte Lee started a freshman pitcher for the third consecutive game, and Keyshawn Askew responded with a stellar effort in his first collegiate start as No. 14 Clemson defeated Charlotte 7-6 Monday afternoon at Doug Kingsmore.

Freshman Adam Hackenberg homered and drove in two runs, while Jordan Greene added a solo shot and two RBI and Logan Davidson homered for the second time in four games. The Tigers hit four homers and stole five bases.

Clemson improves to 3-1 with the victory.
