The season could come to an end with tomorrows game against Georgia Tech and with that also ending maybe the streak of 21 consecutive NCAA appearances. The "Mercy Rule" at the hands of NC State did not please anyone associated with the Tiger baseball program, but when you give up six runs in the top of the first you get what you deserve. Giving a pitcher like Clayton Shunick a six run cushion before he even steps on the mound for the first time in the game and you are asking for trouble. All he had to do was pound the strike zone and change speeds and the game was his. Here are some notes on the series with the Yellow Jackets:
Clemson and Georgia Tech have met 196 times on the diamond, with the Tigers holding a 97-96-3 lead in the series dating back to the 1902 season. Earlier this season, Georgia Tech defeated Clemson twice in three games in Atlanta, while the Tigers downed the Yellow Jackets twice in three games during the 2006 regular season at Clemson. Clemson holds a 13-9 lead in ACC Tournament games. The two last met in the tournament in 2006, when Clemson defeated the Yellow Jackets twice in three games in Jacksonville to advance to the championship game. Clemson also holds a 16-7 lead in neutral-site contests. Jack Leggett is 31-26 against the Yellow Jackets as Clemson’s head coach, including a 6-5 record in the ACC Tournament. Leggett was also 3-5 against Georgia Tech as the head coach at Western Carolina, therefore he is 34-31 all-time against the Yellow Jackets.
Airtime for us on network lines will be 9:45am with the first pitch scheduled for 10am.
