CLEMSON — Clemson’s season came to a screeching halt Sunday.
The top-seeded Tigers made seven errors in the field and third-seeded Kentucky scored in five of the first six innings, en route to a dominating 16-4 win over Clemson in an elimination game in the Clemson Regional on Sunday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. The loss ends the Tigers’ season.
Since 2011, Clemson has hosted a regional seven times, losing six of those. The Tigers have dropped home regionals twice in Erik Bakich’s first three seasons.
However, this was not Clemson’s worst regional loss. In 2011, the Tigers lost 14-1 at home to UConn in regional play, while in 2018, Vanderbilt beat the Tigers 19-6 at Doug Kingsmore.
