Clemson Baseball: Tigers Drop Series to #9 Virginia 2-1

Clemson dropped its weekend series to UVA, 2-1. The Cavaliers took the Thursday and Saturday games, with the Tigers picking up Friday’s contest. Clemson drops to 25-16 on the season and continues to suck out loud in ACC play at 6-12.

Here’s how it went down… Thursday: 4 – 6 – UVA Win: Zatkowski (6-0) Loss: Knaak (2-4) Clemson scored the opening runs of the game with a Luke Gaffney two-run bomb in the second, to put the Tigers ahead. That lead, however, was short-lived as Clemson ace Aidan Knaak couldn’t close out an inning, giving up a two-out, three-run home run. Jacob Jarrell pulled the Tigers even in the top of the sixth with a no-doubter to center field, but much like in the second, UVA answered back in the bottom half of the inning, and you know what, I’m going to pull this inning directly from the official box score because I think y’all need to see how dumb this looks: Virginia 6th – TIROLY singled to shortstop.

DIDAWICK reached on a fielder’s choice to shortstop; TIROLY out at second ss to 2b. JOHNSON hit by pitch; DIDAWICK advanced to second. S.

HARRIS walked; JOHNSON advanced to second; DIDAWICK advanced to third. WEATHERSPOON doubled to right center, 3 RBI; S. HARRIS scored; JOHNSON scored; DIDAWICK scored.
