CLEMSON – For the third time in a year, the Savannah Bananas returned to Clemson Thursday– this time facing the Tigers’ baseball team in an exhibition All-Star game. In last November’s game, the Banana All-Stars defeated the Tigers in a spectacle filled with trick plays and choreographed dances.
But this time at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, the Tigers got their revenge. Under “Banana Ball” rules, Clemson pulled out a 4-3 victory, which equated to a 7-3 win using standard baseball scoring.
While a payback victory was the ultimate goal for the Tigers, there was no shortage of cartoonish fun en route to a win.
