Eagle starter Dan Metzdorf (2-2) suffered the loss, as he yielded seven hits, seven runs and three walks with six strikeouts in 7.1 innings pitched.
Singles by Kyle Wilkie and Bryar Hawkins along with a run-scoring double by Bo Majkowski to start the second inning set up James Parker’s two-out, two-run double.

Clemson added four runs in the eighth inning on run-scoring singles by Bryce Teodosio and Jordan Greene along with two bases-loaded walks.
