Clemson played a home and home series with Gardner Webb over the weekend, with each team holding serve on their home field. These were two games this Tiger team really needed to win, seeing as the Bulldogs had an RPI of 167 coming into the weekend. The margin for error continues to shrink for this team, especially in these non conference games against lesser competition.
The Tigers won the first game 10-2 Saturday afternoon in Clemson. Davis Sharpe had his best outing in weeks, going 5.2 innings and allowing 2 runs on 3 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2.
