Great players are not always great, they are just great when they have to be.

Such was the case Saturday night at Mike Martin Field in Tallahassee, Fla. Clemson centerfield Cam Cannarella made two outstanding plays to give No. 3 Clemson a 4-3 lead over No. 5 Florida State in Game 2 of the three-game series.

The game was postponed in the bottom of the eighth inning due to inclement weather. It will start back tomorrow at 1 p.m., with the Game 3 to follow. The game will resume with Florida State at bat with one out and a runner on first in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Game 3 was scheduled to start at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Trailing 3-1 at the time, Cannarella first stole a home run from Florida State’s Alex Lodise in the bottom of the seventh inning, and then, in the top of the eighth inning, he hit a two-out triple off the wall and somehow came home himself with a little-league in-the-park-home-run to give the Tigers the lead.

Clemson (36-11, 13-9 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 (32-9, 13-6 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.
