Tigers break through late to take opener over Cards

CLEMSON – Things looked lopsided everywhere on the board but the actual score by the bottom of the seventh inning at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Friday.

Clemson, ranked as high as No. 18 this week (Perfect Game), had the advantage in hits, 10 to 3, and even had one fewer error, but through 6 1/2 frames, the score was even, 3-all.

Erik Bakich’s Tigers awaited the breakthrough it seemed to earn by that point, and after the seventh-inning stretch, that redemption came with a three-run inning that keyed a 6-3 win over Louisville to take game one of the series.
