Blake Wright laced a two-out, run-scoring single in the first inning, then Clemson scored five more two-out runs in the second inning. Cooper Ingle grounded a run-scoring single, then Grice belted a grand slam, his eighth long ball of the season and second career grand slam.

The Tigers play at Georgia on Tuesday at 7 p.m. on SEC Network. POV: Your pitcher punishes a 412-foot grand slam 🤯 @CadenGrice3 In the seventh inning, Smith blasts a two-run homer. Caden Grice was Clemson's winning pitcher and hit grand slam in Clemson's 6-2 win at Florida State. Done some digging and yet to find a Clemson player to do both in same game.
