CLEMSON — With Clemson off to a perfect 5-0 start behind an offense averaging eight runs per game and a pitching staff that’s only allowed two earned runs, there hasn’t been much to criticize.
Of the five wins, four have been decided by six runs or more, and when the 19th-ranked Tigers have actually been pushed, they’ve responded. As evidenced by a six-run eighth inning to break open a tie game in Friday’s series-opening win over Bryant. Erik Bakich’s team was also able to push across a run in the bottom of the eighth in the season-opener against Army that propelled Clemson to a 3-2 victory.
