CLEMSON – Late-inning heroics won a game for the Tigers again, but this one wasn’t a dramatic come-from-behind victory but a run-rule effort in five innings.
Clemson scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth and defeated USC Upstate 10-2 Saturday at McWhorter Stadium in the NCAA Clemson Regional. The Tigers will take on Northwestern at 1:30 pm Saturday. The Wildcats defeated Kentucky 4-0 earlier Friday.
Clemson improves to 45-12 while USC Upstate falls to 39-15.
Marian Collins registered three hits, scored twice and drove in three runs to lead the Clemson offense, which scored eight runs over the final two innings.
