CONWAY, S.C. — For seven innings Tuesday night at Coastal Carolina, 10th-ranked Clemson looked like the same team that just got swept at by NC State.
The Tigers were lethargic at the plate, totaling just two hits.
Then suddenly, they woke up and tore through the Coastal Carolina pitching in the eighth inning to erase what was a four-run deficit thanks to a Patrick Cromwell RBI single and a three-run home run by Chris Williams.
However in the end, Coastal Carolina’s Lee Sponseller hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning off Clemson reliever Ryan Miller to stun the Tigers for a 9-5 victory.
