This park looks like a softball field. Either Clemson has a even worse pitching staff than the Cards or the Louisville hitters have awoken from their slumber.

Bottom of the 6th and Davis, Binelas and Metzinger all have 2 home runs.

14 to 9 Cards top 7th.

14-9 Cards in the top of the 7th. Official Cardinals website has it 14-9 Clemson. A UK fan must have infiltrated the site lol.

Cards have to be one of the unluckiest teams when it comes to replay reviews. It's amazing how many times they get screwed with these reviews.

Can someone provide updates on the score as I am not getting the game down here in Louisiana.

i agree 100% with why have an ACC network if your not going to show live games???
I think it has to do with the tournament being in Charlotte and RSN has the broadcast rights.

What a win! Hope GT burns pitchers in the first game!
GT now knows their game tomorrow against Clemson is meaningless. Even if they lose they win the pod by beating UofL on Thursday because they are the highest seeded team in the pod. Doubt they will burn many pitchers.

Hey now, don’t throw logic into this 😡 I didn’t get that far into the weeds. UofL will have Poland, Elliot, Smith, Tate and Kirian all available. Hit the ball and we can take care of business.

Tonight's Clemson/GT game is huge. If Clemson wins, it does not matter what we do vs. GT - we advance to Saturday.

Of course the problem is Clemson has lost 5 in a row and 8 of their last 11, with two sweeps. So not liking our chances.

Not true. If GT loses to clemson
But beats us, we will all be 1-1
and GT advances due to being higher seed.

Clemson put it to GT tonight. Game ended at about 9:30ish. I hope the GT players feel some pressure tomorrow and the Cards are rested.

This is correct ... the simplest way to look at ACC tourney pool play is that there are only two possible outcomes: (1) one team goes 2-0 and advances or (2) all 3 teams go 1-1, and the top seed in the pool (GT in this case) advances.

If you think of it in those terms, the only way either of the two lower seeds advance (Clemson or Louisville in this case) is to go 2-0. Clemson was eliminated yesterday, and GT and UofL play for the pool title tomorrow.

Just come out today and make solid contact (no need to swing for the fences). Make their starter throw lots of pitches, get on base and pressure their D with our speed.

9 seed Duke wins pool D by beating 5-seed FSU and 4-seed Miami. The first of 4 tickets to the semis have been punched.

2 seed Georgia Tech versus 7 seed UofL will decide the pool B winner next, first pitch at 3pm.

3 seed NC State versus 10 seed Pitt tonight at 7 pm will decide the pool C winner.

8 seed Virginia versus 1 seed Notre Dame tomorrow at 11AM will decide Pool A.

Need to clean up the base running and get Luke better sunglasses for out in CF. Poland has been let down a bit by his defense.

Running ourselves out of a inning once again and losing a fly ball in the sun. This team just can't get out of its own way, even when they're focused at the plate.

They're going to have to keep hitting to win this one. Poland has been pretty good but I'm nervous about the bullpen.

But I love their focus at the plate. If only they had it in the Miami series.

As I was saying, we just can't get out of our way. You have to run out of the box when you hit the damn ball. This stuff just keeps happening with this team.

Poland pitched well. Bodes well for the future. It having him the majority of the season definitely hurt the pitching staff.

Baseball gods are trying their best to screw the Cards. First it's the crazy bounce on the double play ball and just now the blind pop foul catch by GT.
