CLEMSON – One of Will Taylor’s childhood dreams came true Friday night, and even though it took longer than expected, he thinks all of his adversity will be for his own greater good.
Taylor suffered a torn ACL last fall during football season and missed the rest of the 2021 football season and most of the 2022 baseball season while recovering. He was finally cleared to play on Friday, started at designated hitter, and rapped a single in his first at-bat.
Taylor came to bat in the bottom of the first and saw five pitches but a runner was thrown out trying to steal, so he had to wait one more inning to get his first base hit.
