Haselden Pitches Tigers to 9-2 Win Over Paladins |
Clemson, SC -
Pitching in his last regular-season game at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, senior righthander
David HaseldenDavid Haselden Furman scored single runs in both the first and second innings to build a 2-0 lead. But Clemson scored five runs in the third inning to take the lead for good. The Paladins had several scoring chances all night, but they only scored two of their 14 baserunners thanks in large part to going just 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position. Haselden (4-1), a native of Spartanburg, SC, made his first start since March 7 and earned the win. He yielded eight hits, two runs, and four walks with five strikeouts.
Mike KentMike Kent Furman starter Stephen Gary (3-1), who was making his first start of the season, suffered the loss. He surrendered six hits, five runs, and no walks with one strikeout in 3.0 innings pitched. The Paladins took the game's first lead in the first inning. Jake Jones led off with a double to left field and advanced to third on Will Owens' groundout to second. Jones scored on Jarrod Rickman's groundout to short. In the second inning, Chris Ohmstede lined a one-out single to left field. Two batters later, Zack Greenwell grounded a two-out single through the left side, then Jones followed with another single through the left side to score Ohmstede. The Tigers broke through with five runs in the third inning.
