Hurricanes starting pitcher Jake Garland took the mound on Sunday looking to give Miami its second-straight home series sweep.
The second-year freshman did not garner a team-high fifth win yet appeared sharp through six innings, relinquishing one earned run while striking out six Clemson batters.
Center fielder Tony Jenkins, despite having marked a .111 batting average entering the series, hit a sacrifice fly to center field to score first baseman CJ Kayfus, and Miami (21-11, 13-10 Atlantic Coast Conference) defeated Clemson (15-17, 9-12 ACC) 3-2 to complete the series sweep at Mark Light Field.
“It’s just exciting, getting sweeps is not easy,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said.
