Byrd then led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a solo home run to extend Clemson’s lead 2-0.

The Tigers tacked on three more runs in the fifth inning thanks to an RBI double by Hall that plated James Parker. Later in the inning Byrd drove in two more runs with a single to score Hall and Logan Davidson.

Bryar Hawkins added to the Clemson lead with a solo home run in the eighth inning to make it a 6-1 game at the time.

Clemson totaled 11 hits in the game. Bryce Teodosio was also 3-for-4.
