CLEMSON – Cam Cannarella was born with the “clutch gene.”

Historically, it shines brightest when the Clemson Tigers play postseason baseball at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.

Over three years of postseason play at Clemson, Cannarella has maintained a .429 batting average with 15 hits, including four home runs and 16 RBIs in just nine games. He added to that legacy in Clemson’s 7-3 win over USC Upstate in Game 2 of the Clemson Regional Friday night, as he delivered three hits, including an eighth-inning insurance home run.

He finished the night with 4 RBIs.

“I love the big moments, and when that time comes, I want to shine in that moment,” the junior centerfielder said.
