Clemson's pitcher has a nasty curve - but he hung one to Clarke.

That's two homers for Clarke.

UNC Dore: because the first baseman touched first after fielding the ball thus eliminating a force play at second.

LEADING OFF FOR VANDY IN THE TOP OF THE 5TH IS CONNER KAISER AFTER HITTING A 3 RUN HOMER LAST TIME UP. STRIKES OUT FOR OUT 1. PHILIP CLARKE HOMES TO DEEP CENTER AFTER HE HOMERS THE LAST TIME UP AS WELL. 6-2 VANDY. DEMARCO IS OUT ON A STRIKEOUT/THROWOUT AT FIRST. PAUL HITS A SINGLE TO RIGHT ON 2 OUTS. JULIAN INFANTE (PAUL STEALS SECOND ON PASS BALL) INFANTE STRIKES OUT TO END THE TOP HALF OF THE 5TH.

Answer: Beer hit a bullet down the first base line.

Infante fielded it nicely - stepped on first. Threw a tricky one hopper to second that required a tag. The scoop and tag were made - but, the Clemson kid's foot apparently got in there. Next batter homers.

2 quick strikes - and then we let the lead-off batter get on.

Now two on no one out. Hickman is throwing strikes - but I'd get someone up in the pen. Quickly.

Another two strike hit.

We are so close - but not shutting them down.

Chris Burke is a UT guy - and he is openly rooting for Clemson.

Why do they send him to do Vandy games?

2 singles with 2 strikes, then a hbp with 2 strikes.

The hbp was basically a strike - guy stuck his elbow out. It is hard to be on the road.

Hickman got screwed on the hbp call. Guy just sticks out his arm to get hit and the ump lets him get away with it.

I thought Beer had just put us down 7-6 off the bat

Kaiser with 7 rbis - 3-run homer and now a slam.

Clemson has used a lot of pitchers.

We are up 11-3. Still a long way to go. We need all the runs we can get.
