A couple of clutch plays to win this one. Loved the call on the bunt That scored 2 runs. My son was throwing that out as an option that could score and would prevent a double play.

So tomorrow rests on Boaz, Rose, and Matty? Let’s hope Boaz can get some good length.
Not a bad trio to have rolling into a Sunday
I had to put my kid to bed as soon as the game ended so I missed the celebration with you guys, but holy cow what I win.
I wanted to pull my hair out several times during that game but as others have said, this team never quits.
Glauber is a total stud. Unbelievable what he’s doing.

I think will the basses loaded and less than two outs we just need to squeeze period.
Shouts out to all of our fans down the left field line giving back to the Clemson students. Got a little rowdy down there by our bullpen for a minute!
I think McDuffie is available for an inning if we have a lead
Clemson didn't have the depth to substitute. In extra innings, the Tigers were forced to play their starting CF at 2nd Base, and, at one point, a pitcher was playing CF. It is unclear, but I believe that he may have thereafter moved to RF and ended up charged with the pop fly error that loaded the bases for the Heels in the 14th inning.
The announcers were blaming the 35-player limit for Clemson's personnel problems. They also blamed the second baseman for not fielding the dropped fly ball.

I just brought the kids outside with me, 9 month old in the swing and the 2 year old (Monday) got a after dinner popsicle lol
It’s been a long time now, but the double play McDuffie got to end the 7th when he was really struggling to find the zone ended up being massive. 4-2 meant we still had a chance, 6-2 probably would have been ballgame.
Didn’t get to watch today… not sure what went down. But I never meant to imply umps weren’t sensitive. Meant the opposite, really… way quicker to puff their chest out and get aggressive whenever slightly threatened (definitely more than officials from other sports). That what happened today??
I like our chances on Sunday. Our record is pretty strong on the third day of series.
We don't have to sugar coat it. Sometimes it takes some luck.
I support this team as much as anyone. They are awesome. Weren't you one of the ones saying we may never score again? Maybe give it to us was bad wording, but they helped us a lot. They botched a routine pop up in a critical situation. Is that better?
I think if you asked the team, they'd say they aren't playing great this weekend, but we still have a chance to win this series, so let's go get it!!
Couldn't agree more. I think if you want to replace Boaz with someone a little more consistent on Sunday, that would be ok. But I'd either leave it as is or move Glauber to Saturday.
True they were short handed. I believe they subbed in a guy that has started in Right Field most of the year in Right Field though.
You're correct. After reading the box score, it is clear that a player named Ty Dailey had pinch hit and then remained in the lineup in RF. He was charged with the error.

Those announcers...good grief they were something weren't they? I realize on these streams you use homers, but these guys were all about showing their colors. It really pained them to praise UNC.
For me it was less about them being biased, which I expect from the home announcers, and more about how they couldn’t make the correct call at all when watching replays. The reviews weren’t even close and pretty sure they were batting 0.000 in their takes on how replay would go.
But they did--praise UNC. Although their praise was "guarded," as if they knew that, if they sounded too effusive, the yahoos that you heard berating the plate umpire during the broadcast (for the whole damn game) would be waiting for them when they left the booth.
The color man actually knew a good deal about the history of Carolina Baseball. But not much about the current details. He opined that "four-year player Carter French" must have really liked attending college in Chapel Hill, without mentioning that he was headed to medical school.
The announcers, while homers, knew their baseball, and they complimented our play, generally, when it was deserved. Although Clemson has its share of "hooligan fans," I really enjoy Carolina playing the Tigers--especially at Doug Kingsmore, which is a great place to watch baseball.
And, though I'm not a fan of Erik Bakich, I have great respect for the Wilhelm-Leggett legacy at Clemson.

Ooof, I guess I had my east coast blinders on. Not sure how I could forget about UCLA. lol
As good as UCLA is, I still think GT is playing better than anyone right now. I hope we put an end to it this weekend.
