The Clemson versus USC series began with a delay of over two hours due to heavy rainfall. However, once the game started, the Tigers played an impressive all-round game, emerging as the dominant force. Winning this series was crucial for Clemson to turn their season around, and they did just that with a 5-2 victory.
The Tigers took an early lead on the very first pitch of the game when Ingle smashed a home run to the left field off Sanders, with Blake Wright scoring soon after. They went on to score three more runs in the middle innings, maintaining their momentum throughout the game.
Clemson’s pitching was also exceptional, contributing significantly to the team’s success. Alex Gordon pitched an incredible 4.2 innings, allowing only 3 hits with no walks and 2 strikeouts on 94 total pitches. Jackson Lindley pitched for 2.1 innings, while Tallent pitched for 2 innings. The bullpen delivered an exceptional performance, allowing only 2 runs in 4.1 innings.
I thought, Austin Gordon really set a tone, he pitched very well. He had some good stuff and gave us four strong innings. And then with Jackson Linley coming in and Casey talent finishing it up. I just thought we split the game pretty well between those three guys.
