Charlie Barnes pitched on Saturday for the first time this year. He will probably want to do it a little more.

The sophomore pitched a career-high seven and 1/3 innings in leading No. 19 Clemson to a 6-1 victory over No. 22 Boston College. The win clinches the series for the Tigers, who won Friday’s game, 6-2.

Clemson (15-3, 4-1) has won six straight games and will be going for the sweep in the three-game series on Sunday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.

“It was all about Charlie, today,” Clemson head coach Monte Lee said afterwards.

It was a nice bounce back win for Barnes after he gave up six runs in a loss at Wake Forest last weekend. At one point the lefty recorded 10 straight outs before an error by Adam Renwick ended the streak. The sophomore induced a double play ball on BC’s Jake Palomaki and then got Joe Cronin to ground out to second base to end the sixth inning.

“I thought he pitched to contact extremely well today,” Lee said. “He was very aggressive and gave us a great start to win this series.”

The lone blemish for Barnes (2-2) came in the top of the second inning when Donovan Casey doubled to left field to lead off the inning and later scored on a fielder’s choice by Stephen Sauter.

“I was really just trying to pound the zone,” Barnes said. “Pretty much everything was working. I was not really spotting my fastballs as well as I would like to early in the game, but I settled in there towards the middle later.

“I felt like everything was working and my defense was doing a great job back behind me.”

The Eagles (12-5, 2-4 ACC) put runners on second and third with one out in the eighth inning, but Brooks Crawford came in and got Gabriel Hernandez to ground out to the mound, and after a walk, he got Cronin to pop up to second base to end the threat.

Barnes’ day ended with the one run on four hits. He threw 117 pitches, had four strikeouts and did not allow a walk.

“It is always great to get out there and gain some confidence and having a start like that definitely helps,” Barnes said. “My team, they played great behind me and we kind of got on a roll there after the third inning and it felt really good.”

The Tigers scored four runs on two hits and an error in the second inning on Saturday. After loading the bases with two walks and a Seth Beer double down the leftfield line to start off the inning, Adam Renwick drew walk number three to score Beer from third, tying the game at one.

Clemson (15-3, 4-1) took the lead for good when Pinder singled off the shortstop and into left centerfield, plating Weston Wilson and Eli White for a 3-1 lead. Renwick later scored to make it 4-1 when Reed Rohlman’s fly ball to right field was dropped by Casey.

Clemson added an insurance run in the fourth inning as Renwick walked and advanced to third on a fielder’s choice by Boston College’s Hernandez on a Chase Pinder hit to third base. Rohlman followed with his second RBI after that, though he hit into a double play at second base. That gave the Tigers a 5-1 lead at the time.

After that the Tigers leaned on Barnes’ left arm.

“He did a good job of mixing his pitches and pitching in and out with his fastball,” Lee said. “It is really tough to hit when you have to cover 17 to 20 inches and you cannot zone into one spot on the plate.”
