Drew Parrish started out wonderfully, facing the minimum number of Tiger hitters through 6 with the help of a couple double plays, but the 7th frame was costly for FSU, as Clemson cut into the lead, before leveling the game 1 inning later. However, the Seminoles would not quit, regaining the lead in the 13th on a massive Steven Wells home run to win the opening game against the Tigers.
Three Up
- As mentioned above, Parrish was masterful through 6 shutout innings, striking out 8 while walking 0. The sophomore southpaw was FSU’s Sunday starter to start the season, but he looked as if he belonged on Friday all year as he mixed and matched his breaking balls to keep Clemson off balance.
