CLEMSON - The No. 9-ranked Clemson Tigers erupted in the bottom of the fourth to beat the Musketeers 8-3 on Saturday. The Tigers recorded a total of ten hits, including two home runs.
A change of pace from the first game of the series, the first inning ended without any score, but Xavier took an early lead in the second with a solo home run by junior infielder Luke Hammond. That score did not change until the bottom of the fourth inning.
Clemson’s rally started with graduate infielder Jacob Hinderleider’s first hit as a Tiger, which sent him to first and redshirt freshman Cooper Blauser to second.
