3 up, 3 down: Walk-off HR lifts Clemson over FSU

National seeds are up for grabs with less than a month before the NCAA tournament. Both Florida State and Clemson have a chance for home-field advantage all the way to Omaha. Monday night, on the campus of Clemson University, the hometown Tigers celebrated a 5-4 victory in walk-off fashion.

Cole Sands, working his way back into form, pitched well for the ’Noles on Monday. His pitch count was higher than you might expect (75 pitches) over four innings, however he made the pitches he needed to make, when he needed to make them. After surrendering a two-run home run to Clemson shortstop Logan Davidson with zero out in the third inning, Sands retired six of the next seven batters he faced.
