CLEMSON — Danny Nelson is quickly carving out a role for himself in the Clemson bullpen.
The hard-throwing freshman made his collegiate debut in the second game of a doubleheader against Army last Saturday. Nelson came on to pitch the final inning of the 7-0 win and quickly sat the Black Knights down in order, with one strikeout.
Exactly one week later, Nelson came on in a much more stressful situation. With the Tigers up 5-2 and runners at second and third with one out, the right-hander’s first pitch was belted off the wall in right, allowing one run to score and pull Bryant to within 5-3.
