Cardinals use long ball to put final nail in Clemson’s coffin

CHAROLOTTE — The first game of the ACC Tournament could not have started any better for 11th seed Clemson Tuesday at Truist Field in Charlotte.

Needing a win to have any hopes of keeping their postseason hopes alive, the Tigers got a two-run homer from Caden Grice in the first inning and then scored three runs in the second, one in the third and two in the fourth inning.

Unfortunately, for the Tigers, No. 7 Louisville did even better. The Cardinals scored in each of the first six innings, 14 runs overall, as they outlasted Clemson, 15-10.
