CLEMSON - Danny Cannon stepped up to the microphone for his routine rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
The fans, who usually responded emphatically, "Tigers! Let's get some runs!" recited the line with an overwhelming sense of finality. That feeling for Clemson (45-18) had built up all afternoon, as Kentucky (31-25) ended the Tigers' postseason run in a decisive blowout.
Defensive errors ruled the entire afternoon, and the Tigers' postseason fate in the process, falling to the Wildcats 16-4.
Kentucky will move on to Sunday night's action against West Virginia, and Clemson's season will end in its home ballpark once again.
