CLEMSON – It’s been a long time since Clemson lost a midweek game, 657 days to be exact, and thanks to some late inning heroics the streak will live to see another day as Kyle Wilkies 10th-inning single lifted No. 7 Clemson to a 9-8 victory over Winthrop Tuesday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
Winthrop pounded out 14 hits and scored eight runs, but a Patrick Cromwell home run and small ball executed to perfection gave Clemson a 9-8 win over Winthrop in 10 innings Tuesday night at Doug Kingsmore. Cromwell launched a 375-foot home run over the Cajun Café with one out in the ninth to set up the extra-inning heroics.
