Tigers show off their power in win over Illinois
OXFORD, Miss. — During this time of the year in college baseball, how a team responds to adversity can go a long way in what kind of run it can make in the NCAA Tournament.
Case in point, Clemson’s 8-4 victory over Illinois in Friday’s Oxford (Miss.) Regional at Swayze Field in Oxford. After falling behind the Illini by a run in the bottom of the second inning, the Tigers responded with a three-run third inning to regain the lead and never trailed again.
It was an inning in which Clemson showed off its power at the plate.
