Clemson got a two-out triple from Cam Cannarella in the top of the eighth inning to score three runs, as the third-ranked Tigers rallied to beat No. 5 Florida State, 6-3, at Mike Martin Field in Tallahassee, Fla.

The Tigers added two runs in the top of the ninth to secure the win. Reid Garris came on in relief to record the save. Chance Fitzgerald (4-0) was awarded the victory.

Game 2 was suspended in the bottom of the eighth inning on Saturday night due to inclement weather in the Tallahassee area. The game started back on Sunday with the Seminoles having one out and a runner on first. The win allowed the Tigers to even the series, setting up a winner-take-all-game in Game 3 of the series.

Clemson (37-11, 14-9 ACC) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the fifth inning when Jacob Jerrell executed a squeeze bunt on a 1-0 count. He placed the ball perfectly between third and the mound, forcing pitcher Joey Volini with only a play at first base.

Dominic Listi, who opened the inning with a double to centerfield, also did his part on the play. He took off for home right when Volini lifted his leg to deliver the ball, as he easily scored the game’s first run.

However, it did not take the Seminoles (32-10, 13-7 ACC) long to bounce back and eventually take the lead. Nathan Cmeyla led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a solo home run off starter Drew Titsworth to left centerfield to tie the game.

With runners on second and third and with one out, Myles Bailey doubled off reliever Jacob McGovern to left center to score Gage Harrelson, giving the ‘Noles a 2-1 lead after five innings.

Things stayed that way until the bottom of the seventh, when Harrelson homered to right field off a 0-1 offering from McGovern. But it was in the same half-inning that sparked Clemson’s comeback.

Following Harrelson’s home run, Lodise sent a shot to centerfield for what looked like a sure home run. However, Cannarella jumped up and robbed Lodise of the home run and switched the momentum to Clemson’s dugout.

In the eighth, Cannarella took advantage of his own play when he hit a two-out triple over centerfielder Max Williams’ head, scoring Jack Crighton and Jay Dillard to tie the game. However, as Cannarella was sliding into third base, Williams’ throw got away from Cal Fisher at third, allowing Cannarella to take off for home.

But Cannarella fell halfway down the line and it appeared as if he was going to be thrown out. Volini’s throw was off the mark, however, and Cannarella was able to get up and beat the tag at home plate for the go-ahead run.

Cannarella’s hit was ruled a triple, while he was awarded with three RBIs.

When they resumed play on Sunday, Listi doubled to right field to score Luke Gaffney, who had a one-out single to right, to give the Tigers a 5-3 lead in the top of the ninth.
