Arms Race: Clemson pitching setting historic pace in early going

CLEMSON – The baseball season is just seven games old, but head Clemson head coach Monte Lee thinks his pitching staff has a chance to be special.

Clemson completed a three-game sweep of Stony Brook Sunday with a 3-1 victory. Clemson pitchers gave up just that one run over the weekend and the team ERA dropped to 0.70 through the first seven games. Sunday’s run was unearned but stopped a scoreless streak that stood at 33 innings, the longest such streak since 1967 (38).

For the weekend, Clemson pitchers tossed 28 innings, gave up no earned runs, walked just five batters and tossed 43 strikeouts.
