Clemson and with that welcome to the NCAA baseball regionals presented by Capital One two campuses separated only by 106 miles they both wear orange and they meet on the diamond for the first time since 1997. the fur coat is here hosted by Blake Burke and the Clemson Tigers after a mid-season turnaround are looking to prove that their color orange is the one that works best so Regional Championship trip is on the line the winner this one moves into that slot Sunday at six the loser will play an elimination game tomorrow at noon here Doug kinsmore Stadium here and he'll face five tonight as Tennessee lineup the Ops against that slider 265 and a whiff rate above 50 percent that's the one that can make a difference tonight and he'll start with maliahona doesn't matter your shade of orange your amp for this one even though that's the primary color we've got Tennessee running back the blacktops and purple colored choice for Clemson tonight this should be fun [Applause] Maui Ohana was an all-conference performer at Kansas and he swings at the first transferred in to Tennessee this year Junior 6-1 175 two for four with a run driven in yesterday [Music] Ops over a thousand but he has struggled against lefties 120 points lowering his average against lefties and ridings Tennessee knocked off Charlotte 8-1 took an early lead five nothing through three and never looked back and that was a cruise for the volunteers in game number one coming off of a one and done in Hoover where they're Shut Out by Texas A M at the SEC tournament that was close Dave Condon didn't see it as a strike it was right on the edge it looked like it just missed it's the spot Bryce wanted to throw it it's a really good take by Maui yahuna [Music] [Applause] breaking ball for strike three it's really it's been his best pitch all year and ahuna took to one it was just off the plate and then just froze on this one you could see buckled a little bit maybe red fastball tried to lean intake and maybe it was going to hit him instead it dropped right over the middle first out of the game is a strikeout for Kaden Grice Clemson Breeze through the ACC tournament 4-0 in Durham only issue was dealing with Mother Nature and some rainy weather they hit 310 with seven home runs and it capped the second half turnaround it started with a hidden ball trick of Florida State here's Hunter Ensley making his 43rd start for Tennessee today and he's quickly in the hole nothing and two [Applause] six home runs and 26 driven in for Ensley swing and a miss back to back Kipper Grace [Applause] [Music] that's one way to get a crowd involved early on the mound go punch out punch out got Maui Hunter looking at the slider than O2 fastball just took the two seam and ran it off to play and Hunter Ensley couldn't hold up pretty good start for the big left-handed [Music] Tennessee's Jared Dickey had three hits last night against Charlotte's second Team all SEC and he swings it the first sends it down the line Will Taylor coming over across the line I can't quite make it in front of a standing room only crowd in the part-time baseball player part-time football player as a wide receiver and kick returner came up just short [Music] got them all over the place we're hanging over the fence down to left field line kind of looks like East Carolina last year in the super against Texas where they're hanging out over the fence it's a pretty good sight tonight if there were Raptors in this place they'd be clinging to him go on [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Dickey fouls another one off another fastball from Brice 12 home runs 47 driven in for Dickey Redshirt sophomore from Mount Juliet Tennessee leads the team in average hits total bases and triples a sling and a miss Kane Grice K's the side in the first Inning on 12 pitches good morning good afternoon good night say Kaden grice is ready to go three punch outs to start here comes the tiger offense is the surprising camp dorella the ACC es a shortstop but had a good fall and a great spring and has taken over in center field second in the league in stolen bases there's some speed with this Clemson team and a fastball misses up Tennessee thinking bunt from canarella Zane Denton playing on the grass at third base up again 2-0 [Applause] [Music] and this ball is ripped to right field right at Christian Scott one down [Applause] mentioned if you want to get dolander you better do it early glavin-esque in the sense in the first inning as era is near 11 then he settles down and does it quickly yeah he seems to get better as it goes on sometimes maybe a little bit too amped and you can see the two first two pitches of this game were that fastballs missed way up and out of the Zone freshman canarella put a really good swing on that 2-0 fastball there this is Cooper Engel at the plate starting in right field tonight and he fits one through the left side one out single for Engel [Applause] similar approach last night shot a ball to left field early started behind the play last night out in right field tonight he's the first Clemson Runner tonight if there's a guy that knows big game intensity it's Will Taylor he's from Irmo sophomore out of Dutch Fork High School it's a 19th round pick of the Rangers coming out of high school turned it down under armor All-America Mr baseball and by the way All-State quarterback that plays wide receiver for dabo's team in the fall we're talking with him a couple of days ago about the turnaround of Florida State he said our season was going nowhere we knew we had to flip it around so since then every single game has been like a tournament game 2-0 up again with the fastball [Applause] [Music] 45 walks in the season for Taylor fourth and on base percentage in the league [Music] Tipton and the catcher's mitt two and one changing the bat right there because it would be 3-0 on Taylor fastball was up and out of the Zone that's where the misses had been for dolander fastball down in the zone that angle shot to left other than that misses have been primarily up arm side Engel not much of a runner almost fell asleep over there on a two on the base pads [Music] there he goes pitches up the throw from Cal Stark is caught by a hona the helmet came off and the mouthpiece ends up past second base I thought that was a ball at first I was with you when the mouthpiece went flying I thought the ball went flying Cal Stark over the course of the Season who has not had great success throwing base runners out Stark had thrown out just 6-39 before that but put it right on the bag and Cooper Engel only two stole a base attempt the entire season I mean it was baseball glove head that all met at the exact same time right in front of second base Dave Condon is the home plate up by Eric bakkage came out to talk to him even before backage came out the home plate umpire signified that they're going to go to review Angel capos is the crew chief that is a heck of a play heck of a play by Christian Moore because it's short hop body coming in at the exact same time I don't know how he caught that without it hitting Cooper Engel should thank him for catching it otherwise it was going to be in his ear I was going to hit him right the side of the face but for angle I mean you got body and everything arriving all at once shouldn't take long No it should not take long at all that was um a really good throw by Stark and a big time play by Moore to glove it what does it tell you that Eric bakkage wants to run here early on with Ingle who's essentially his catcher yeah I mean I know the wind's blowing out a little bit I know this place has been really offensive you got two dudes on the mound tonight this doesn't feel like a 7-6 game this feels like every run is really going to make a difference and they take a chance against the guy in Stark that again hadn't thrown a great I mean that is that is so good right there by more so good I mean it's one thing to make that play if nobody slide into you secondly he's got a glove it right at the same time because there's going to be contact with his glove and then hold on we're told that they're also looking at obstruction at second base I don't I don't know how you possibly call that obstruction I mean he's got the opportunity to make the play too and the other thing is his angle had the outside of the bag right there I mean there's there's a clear path you can put the glove down there when you make it play I mean it's you don't have to get out of the way for the guy to slide both can happen at the exact same time I think that was thumb guard that came flying out well Eric bakkage is in his first season as Clemson's head coach he knows postseason success he won the Big Ten Tournament with Michigan and he took the Wolverine to the College World Series in 2019. he's got Jack Leggett longtime head coach here at his side the retired luggage number seven beckage was a student assistant for Leggett to start his college career and a staff that included Tim Corbin and Kevin O'Sullivan the result will not be announced but we're told there was no obstruction and Engel was indeed out Christian Morris Avenue himself pretty good first two days here a couple hits last night drove in three hit one of the seats and right there made a defensive Jam in the first don't forget about that as that game goes on there's only the seventh caught stealing in 50 attempts by Cal Stark back to the about two on to Will Taylor with two down now on dolander up in the zone even though he's got the velocity to command not there [Music] that was a 3-1 pitch excuse me and ball four to Taylor and here's Grace one of three finalists for the John olarude award to a player of the year [Music] Anna golden spikes in my finalist is the player of the year starts him with a changeup Grice went two for two with a home run last night and this is a spot he's comfortable in 37 of his 66 RBI have come with two outs it's the best rate on the team [Music] breaking ball Up and Away grice is prone to striking out third most of the ACC in the regular season was 70. they're playing Christian Moore in Shallow right field for the left-handed hitting Grice 6-6-250 97 mile an hour fastball 2-1 [Applause] Burke holds Taylor and this one's fouled straight back [Music] 44 of its hits go the opposite way and that more in the Outfield too infield more on the pull side Outfield sometimes more the opposite way and that's why they've got Christian Moore all the way on the pull side and in Shallow right [Music] [Applause] slow roller Moore's got a hurry got him the caught stealing looms large in his first inning Clemson unable to do anything with its first hit of the game scoreless through one second inning of work for Kaden Grice he came to side in the First on 12 pitches and he is just pumping the strike zone this is Griffin Merritt senior from Cincinnati who transferred in from the University of Cincinnati team best 18 home runs and this ball is ripped foul [Applause] Merritt had a good game in the opener last night against Charlotte three-run home run in the fourth inning scored a couple runs [Music] [Applause] Up and Away [Music] mayor was the American Conference player of the year last year also a Casada academic All-American and he torches this one to left field ranging Taylor catch made for the out [Music] beat that one two square that was 112 off the bat right there with Griffin Merritt Will Taylor had him played perfectly they're just just in time out of Brooklyn New York Christian Moore more homered last night one of the 116 struck by Tennessee this year they've hit more home runs the last two years and any two-year combination in program history [Music] upstairs and Christ had to do some housekeeping with his landing spot ever seems like his pulse gets going too fast it sure didn't look that way yet breaking ball to third took a funny hop on the lip Wright recovers in time five up five down and Blake Wright with a fine reaction over the hot corner there's infield is manicured perfectly but you're still going to get hops off the lips sometimes and Blake Wright is expecting this to go high and hits right off the edge you can see stays down that's a really good reaction honestly probably a little bit better he was playing it to the side it's easier to go down and get that right there he does and then knows he's got plenty of time to get more Caden Grice has now set down the first five tonight slugging Blake Burke sends one into the Tennessee Bullpen on the first pitch he was a freshman sensation as a platoon player last year sophomore from California he's got 15 home runs this year [Applause] 14 and 22 starts with a 326 average last year [Applause] caught just a piece of it if there's a concern for Tennessee it's the bottom half of the order Burke Denton Scott and Stark combined to go over 14 last night against Charlotte but if they could get this guy going especially from the left side of the plate you can hit some tape measure shots now last year Tony vitello played in primarily just against rights this year it's been different to the breakable that just missed in right there exactly where Bryce wanted to throw it but that's another four or five inches over the plate that's that's a called strike through up the middle off Grice lost his hat and Burke comes up with Tennessee's first hit of the game [Applause] [Music] got a 92 Monarch fastball and hit it 109 miles now right back up the middle Blake Burke man when he barrels it she can go a long ways this one on the ground and Tennessee will take it first hit of the knights a two out single in the second by Blake Burke so one on and the inning continues for Zane Denton [Music] transferred in from Alabama led the Crimson Tide at the home runs last year had 13 of them is one off that pace right now Burke has four stolen bases on the year 2-0 [Applause] [Applause] [Music] thank you popped him up Benjamin Blackwell the shortstop and that will end Tennessee's half of the second no runs a hit one left we move on and Clemson no score [Music] Billy amick Riley Bertram and Blake Wright do up amick's a sophomore from Batesburg South Carolina [Music] comes into this one hitting 416 which would lead the ACC if he had enough plate appearances to qualify only his 41st start and ended up first team all-conference despite coming off the bench early in the year March 10th against Georgia State in a game that he entered as a pinch hitter struck the two out walk-off 446-foot Grand Slam [Music] he moved in the starting lineup the next day dolander missing up with the fastball again 3-0 [Music] [Music] grooves 95 3-1 what's going on with his fastball why is he missing up everything is up sometimes you just get a little bit too excited get quick to home plate kind of run away from your arm a little bit and that's usually where dolander will run into issues but when it gets right it's it's that one right there just 205 first pitch strikes so far but now he's worked a 3-0 count back to 3-2 amick hit the ninth inning or eighth inning Grand Slam for Clemson yesterday they started this tournament home team gets a chance to choose their starting time and so they went game one left the night game for Tennessee a little bit of extra rest for the Tigers how's another one off [Music] [Music] and another Chase dolander started his college career Georgia Southern in 21. he was fourth on that team in strikeouts they played Tennessee in the non-conference that year and lo and behold dolander ended up in a Tennessee uniform the next year as the SEC pitcher of the year 10-0 including a win in the supers against Notre Dame and a pop-up with more headed back Scott late jump coming in Moore can't get it and Billy amick with a lead off single here in the second nine pitch a bat right there and Amy could fouled off a few good fastballs Christian Moore just got spun around started to go one way didn't go the other probably thinking there's a chance Christian Scott's going to be there but he had a late break you're you're anticipating everything going over your head I think especially after last night the way the ball was flown here it was a full swing right there Scott thought it was going to be deeper than it was it'll go as a lead off single for amick and so here's Riley Bertram mentioned Eric bakkage came to Clemson from Michigan he had Bertram on his team in the College World Series in 2019. first pitch change up nothing in one package took Michigan all the way to the championship series in 19. already two of those pitchers from the Michigan team in the big leagues of third on its way that was a close-knit veteran team Bertram was just a freshman but a regular on it Michigan hadn't been to Omaha since Barry Larkin was at shortstop letter high but a strike and that was there fans here don't like it but that one caught the very top part of his own on the changing and that Michigan team beat Vandy game one of the finals too and he had to come back when the next two to win Tim Corbin's Second National Title [Music] Bertram spoils one [Music] Bertram was Sensational has been Sensational in the NCAA tournament 12 tournament games coming into this year 405 average with three doubles [Applause] [Music] two for four last night now contact but not much Carrie and Ensley has out number one [Music] a couple of first pitch change-ups one to Grice and one to Bertram yeah both the left-handers and that's usually where dolander is going to use it they don't throw too much to ride he's but to lefties it can be a good pitch even elevated right there that was a pitch at Bertram hit just couldn't Square it up their basement Blake Wright was hitless yesterday over four that one gets all the way to the backstop catch made by Stark with the bare hand but a wild pitch allows amick to advance 90 feet it was a cutter or a slider that just zipped right out of his hand was not a first pitch fastball but dolander just having a hard time getting ahead of guys right now and watch it release he's he's trying to zip across to just popped right out of his hand that's what he wanted it to look like that one looks better Blake Wright is from Bel Air Florida out of the Clearwater area [Music] fastball for a strike 1-1 apartment one and two swing and a miss on the cutter that's the first strikeout for Chase dolander [Music] cutter they got away to start to get bad and then he came back and pumped three in a row in there fastball and two or Cutter and then a fastball and then another good cutter we'll start that one on the outside part of the play doesn't move a whole lot just enough to get off the bat right there 89 miles an hour you see a lot of swing and Miss yet for dolander but more of that will happen if he can get ahead and account veteran shortstop Benjamin Blackwell in the eight hole bounces it up the middle ohona reach [Applause] ing there is in time [Applause] heads up play by Blake Burke to keep amick from scoring and that's the third out of the second [Applause] this is pretty good all-around because off the bat it looks like it's got a chance to go out in the center field Maui yahuna can show you some flash that Blake Burke with a heads up play gets it to Cal Stark just in time tagged down no run through two we're still scoreless at Clemson and the ball's been flying out all across the country just as it has all season we're out pays for highest home run rate in college baseball history Christian Scott to the plate to start the third for Tennessee temperature pushing 90 degrees right now in the upstate here's the first to Scott and Kaden Grice Mrs Lowe it's a rarity to find a guy like Kaden Grice Florida has it in Jack caglione but that is a Superstar at the plate and a guy who can hold down a rotation and a power five conference rice is the cleanup hitter he's got 17 home runs caglione is second in the nation in home runs for Kevin O'Sullivan Squad Leon got to start last night Florida beat Florida a m three nothing in their opener now he's back in the middle of that lineup Grice has had a better year on the mount but a lot more consistent especially throwing strikes power numbers for taglione have been a little bit better [Applause] now grice's first quality start came against Florida state that was a series that turned around the season for Clemson in a lot of ways struck out five over six in a 30 also hit a grand slam in the win [Applause] had a picture for a guy who was projected before he arrived on campus to be a first round pick and Eric backage said he really felt like the opportunity to get back on the mound has decluttered his mind he doesn't have to overthink one area he also added that he's now playing with a smile on his face again and that's great to see he's been their best this is a different Clemson team and I don't know if they make the run if Jordan Bryce isn't in the role that he's in right now look at Joe The Freshman catcher thought that should have been a call strike he pointed a Grice right after the pitch but it was not check swing said he didn't go and the balls had their lid off man on there in the third first walk from Grace brings Cal Stark up [Music] it's really interesting that performance at both the plate and on the mound and improved for Grace once he got back on the mountain I think the declutter probably makes sense I mean you just it's like you're going back to Little League doing what you've always done just you're good at both go do both fun dip always Big League Chew up and into Stark maybe some orange slices in your lucky did he pull back yep [Music] that one dead on the dirt and Jacob Jarrell handles the sacrifice to record his or record now against his counterpart advances Scott to second [Music] and back to the top of the order and maliahuna [Music] struck out looking in the first Gerald getting the start behind the plate today Ingles started yesterday [Applause] first pitch strike usually when you see a team put together a 17-game win streak as Clemson has done they have one lineup and they just sit on it but backache has some pieces he can move around that includes Engel and Gerald amick first base and DH and the rotate guys in right field Ingles out there today [Applause] goes down swinging for the second time K number four for Grace [Applause] and he goes down to the same pitch for Maui yahuna it was a breakable that got him the first time and you can see he recognizes and it was almost a split second decision as to whether or not this is going to come back across the plate I don't think it did and when the Lefty swings a dead pitch that's a really tough one to get to it's a backup breaking ball inside back-to-back strikeouts for Maui Hoon at the start this one here's Hunter Ensley that one hip high and inside Ensley struck out in the first on a handful of volunteers whose numbers against lefties are just a fraction of what they are against right-handers 1-1 same pitch in for a strike again [Applause] sitting on four strikeouts here's the one two to Ensley got him over their last 30 games of this season they were dead in the water yeah two and eight in the league after they lost the opener to Florida State little different clubs since then here's Jacob Gerald making his 26th start of the season freshman Catcher from down to Florence to 15 average and five home runs [Applause] first trip through the order the Landers allowed three hits upstairs to Gerald just a lot of big misses we've seen that this year with dolander last year it felt like the misses were it weren't quite as scattered this year the Mississippi been more non-competitive pitches and that was definitely one right there and it's caused him to pitch from behind in the count a lot more than he had to last year and a lead-off walk to the nine hole hitter second time the leadoff hitter has reached for Clemson from her last inning Tennessee got the third out at home plate [Music] man they're starting to get Rowdy here in Clemson with top of the order coming cam canarella average in conference games and the Freshman from down to Hartsfield South Carolina adjusted quickly to the college game he had safely in his first 15. in for a strike I thought he might get one of those that's first pitch change up and that one so far has been good canarella's first to bat took a 2-0 fastball and scorched it to right it was just right at Christian Scott let me get another one here [Music] [Applause] back to back back to back change UPS 189 one at 88 and now dolander working ahead again slider fastball here probably Elevate the fastball I don't know if he's going to throw three straight changes he does 97 up and dispatches canarella [Music] asphalt plays a little bit different when it's O2 as opposed to two oh it's the same pitch obviously location a little bit different than canarella line to right but this time more in defense mode it just seen two change ups and then the eye level changes that's where he wants to finish you off but he's got to get to two strikes to have the ability to do it Cooper Engel angled singled in the first was added second on a caught stealing and a tag to the face all right if interface doesn't make you think of coming to America that's doing something wrong in the face breaking ball one and two subtle move right there by Cal Stark but anytime you catch a ball in the middle of your body it just looks so much better and he's got time to do it with that breaking ball just kind of shifts his body out so instead of reaching for that breaker while he catches it right in the middle of that chest protector the ball was off the plate he made it a strike [Music] again the fastball up two balls two strikes [Music] breaking ball hit well to center field Ensley has plenty of space and Gerald Chase back to First I want to live in the air in this ballpark this weekend although the wind has died down a little bit it's 310 to the left 390 to Center and 320 to right Lindsey Nelson is known as a launching pad and this ballpark is smaller than Tennessee's home stadium thank you [Music] pair of ACC Titus from Will Taylor one on the Gridiron one on the diamond [Music] [Music] snap throw to first [Music] [Applause] but no ladder he'd like to use that cutter against ridies the same way that he uses to change up against left he's throwing early a 10 mile an hour difference in velocity and really working outside part of the plate to each into his second trip through the order [Music] catcher Gerald is the runner at first here's the 1-1 to Taylor how to play [Music] [Applause] foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] comes into the postseason as the number four National seed first top eight National seed since 2016. [Applause] that one's going to get out of play after Scott gives it a look down here the cheap seats and the bus [Music] gotta be the most unique Outfield seating in any Stadium there's a bus underneath the used to be scaffolding atop the bus and they came in today we should probably solidify this a little bit make it real instead of just a lawn chair on top of a bus chop to the left side ahuna leadoff walk does no damage Clemson has stranded three through three still no score this one you've got Samford and Penn playing in the winners bracket game tonight loser that plays Southern Miss tomorrow so I had a Southern Miss Samford or Penn will be playing in the Super first pitch ground ball to short Benjamin Blackwell the tires Jared Dickey one down [Music] thank you ran into some Tennessee fans at the Esso club last night they watched that final goal down at Auburn and they got really excited because they started doing the math and yeah Tennessee could win this they'd have a real chance to hosting a super at Lindsey Nelson but first they have to get past number four National C Clemson who swung it hit him that's right dead ball nothing in one by the way as far as the Quakers chances concerned the last ivy league team to make it to the College World Series [Music] 1974. all right that was a bit ago good year for some Lakers had won well not 11 in a row that was scorched again beautiful pickup by Blackwell two down that's twice a griffin Merit has hit it right in the center of the barrel and twice that Clemson has been playing him in the right spot [Music] so now for Christian Moore Christian Moore hit a home run to right field last night against Charlotte that came off the bat at 20 degrees it was absolute two-iron over the fence 107 mile an hour exit velocity 101. [Applause] what do you think of Grace so far he is uh this is a game right here when a guy swings and misses it you're slider and it hits him probably a pretty good pitch today and that guy happens to be Griffin married who had 18 home runs this year and it's a pretty darn good college hitter Grice says he ate stuff tonight and this spawns balls home run Christian Moore [Applause] [Music] the weekend just keeps getting better for Christian Moore last night it was a home run to Right Center tonight they're going to try to sneak a fastball in on his hands and this is pulling your hands in getting the barrel tour right there Christian Moore home run to Right Center last night home run to left center tonight on the night when one feels like it a lot Tennessee strikes first there's Blake Burke with a swing and a miss only the sixth home run Allowed by Kaden Grice this year Burke's bat ended up and not only at the backs up but under the padding [Music] a very similar trajectory to his home run last night that one 24 degrees for more Burke slices it through the left side another two out hit for Tennessee [Applause] it was over four last night he's two for two tonight both times number 105 off the bat for Blake Burke two Grandpa singles today one right back up the middle and right over the top of Kaden grice's head this time backside ground ball Blackwell playing him a little bit more to the pull side Blake Birch two for two [Music] there's Zane Denton popped up to short his first time up [Applause] and a first pitch strike [Music] then second season at Alabama he was a 300 hitter with double digit home runs it looked like he was going to follow his brother's path into a high draft pick but then he had draft Titus and in 22 average shot to 263 strikeouts skyrocketed he's got back on track this season after the change of scenery sees three and he has track out victim number six for Kaden Grice but Christian Moore is home run gives Tennessee an early advantage against rice [Applause] [Music] pitched low and in to Caden Grice and they say he went and to count nothing in one [Music] let's go right through the wickets right there thank you they did one ball one strike that's a first pitch Cuttery [Music] I did not hit him and he called a swing anyway so it wouldn't have mattered but sharply hit but foul [Music] 17 home runs 66 driven in [Music] yep third strikeout for dolander that's cool he didn't throw them too much tonight zolander that looked like a curveball was he really didn't throw that to right-handers sometimes he'll second third time around velocity difference significantly more than the cutter that was 78 miles an hour back door breaking ball right now the curveball goes Bill Landers second stretch excuse me third strike out of the night [Music] [Applause] hit batter put Samick the All-American aboard hey will bring Riley Bertram up Bertram all for one with a fly out to Center we got star power in the house tonight that's the way it seems [Music] thank you Blown Away [Music] 60th pitch of the night for dolander yeah we saw Peyton show up last year at the Super Regional against Notre Dame that's kind of a big deal in Tennessee Standing Ovation for DeSean Watson working the crowd here at Clemson [Music] Bertram flew out to center field and a big cut there two and one if he took less than 100 pictures from he came to First getting down to right field line I think I'd take the over on that [Music] with Clemson President Bill Clements [Music] there's a strike Jim Clements excuse me two and two [Music] [Music] big strikeout for dolander there was again it's the same thing he did to Caden gries didn't show it the first time around and for dolander this is what the best do save your stuff for second third time around you don't show everything the first time they go through gets Burcham into a plus count goes right back to that same pitch he did against Christ it's a slower curveball on the outside part of the plate two strikeouts in the inning now four in the game for dolanda all right now keep amick near the bag he was hit by pitch with one down if I pitch sandwich by a couple of strikeouts Grice looking Bertram swinging [Music] hmm dolander was up in the zone early but man he looked settled in he started to get a dial back in him and we got Ace on Ace tonight and we've got each one of them that brought their a stuff swinging a Miss in the breaking ball nothing in two [Applause] [Music] [Music] fastball hit well to right field Christian Scott has space no blood one nothing Tennessee through four we'll chat with Tennessee head coach Tony vitello after this Tom Hart with Kyle Peterson Tony vitello you've seen some big time atmospheres in pitching matchups what you're feeling early on with Grayson dolander settling in it's kind of what it was advertised as I got a bunch of people texting me saying they're gonna you know have some Beverages and some food and watch the game and I said I wouldn't mind switching places it's a little more stressful in here but if you like to compete this is what you sign up for I mean we got mouthpieces flying around on the field and everything else so good action for you guys yeah it's been a good show so far Joe Lander's been as good as I've seen him all year and I know there were some misfires earlier with a fastball he's really liked him the last two what have you seen yeah I think you get a little extra adrenaline or nerves that means you're human you're going to get out there and and maybe you miss up I mean that was rare for Lindsay to mess up yesterday too uh but can you weather the storm against this lineup in this environment's a big thing and I think it's important for our entire team not just dope Tony thanks for your time appreciate it and so Christian Scott will lead off the fifth inning for Tennessee this is a Tennessee team that was number one in the country all last year basically upset by Notre Dame in the Super Regional but they played in big games and they played with a Target on their back not just last season based on the results of their play but also the style of their play hot shot to Bertram knocks it down recovers [Applause] and that'll bring Cal's Stark to the play I guess my point about that is that when you play in a major conference this atmosphere while it's great on television doesn't seem to Rattle the guys in The Dugout no I mean they've been around it the other thing is and to Tony's Point like this is why you play I mean this is why you go to these schools you go because of this you go because DeSean Watson comes walking into the place goes nuts you go because people are standing down the left field line and they can't sit the entire game you go because there's smoke coming out from right field because of the grills like this is why you show up these are the environments you live for Cal Stark nine hole hitter Cajun Cafe going strong tonight three pitches to take care of Stark seven strikeout for Grice two trips through the order it really has been one of those nights to where there was one mistake and if you even go look at the pitch it wasn't even really a mistake it was a fastball in that Christian Moore just put a really good swing on it other than that Caden Grice has dealt tonight fastball may not be the 97-98 that you see from dolander but it's meant plenty in the slider's been special hona looks at a first pitch strike pardon me missed 1-0 from Hawaii started his college career in Lawrence Kansas and after some time with The Jayhawks for his first team all-conference he transferred into Tennessee in the off season that Walter was a baseball player back in Hawaii [Music] a little bit more competition for foul balls tonight than we had this afternoon huh yeah yeah there'll be some battles for him tonight a little man that ran chasing one lost his shoe I don't know that he's gonna he's not gonna have that opportunity tonight he'd rather have the ball than the shoe ahuna struck out looking in the first went down swinging in the third [Applause] 2-2 From Grace swinging a miss eight K's through five and that was a nine pitch hitting for Kane Grice the game continues for guys back to that slider and it gets Maui yahuna swing and he's punched a Huna out you got an apron on you got to come in here's Benjamin Blackwell all right gang here's what we got there this there we have more the man with the aprons gotta get it smells delicious come on uh I'm thoroughly distracted what is this this is wonderfulness is that wrapped in bacon oh you were gonna go I mean you're up there but you're gonna go up one more level if that was wrapped in bacon 1-1 is up and in [Applause] two balls and a strike this is my day is May thanks y'all it was pretty appreciate you pretty good to start now just got better only thing that makes a great pitching matchup in between games I'll come see you tomorrow the only thing that makes a good pitching matchup better is smoked Wings off the grill from the Cajun Cafe I wish smells went through on TV I know we need a scratch and sniff that's the next generation of American Sports television Blackwell fouls one straight back they just they just brought us food [Applause] I told them on the Twitter machine I told him I was going to go out there in between games and then I when I went back to hotel so tomorrow I'm gonna go out there in between 2-2 pitch sharply hit up the middle The hoenna Knocks it down but couldn't get a grip infield single for Blackwell he's now two for two [Applause] Maui already made one Beauty tonight and this one pretty darn impressive just to get to it that is squared up he saw the knuckle when it came off the bat lays out if he gets it clean grip he's got a chance but Blackwell's a plus Runner and that's one thing to watch right now we talked about Stark he threw one out tonight but he's only throwing out seven of 50 on the year a little offensive timeout right here Eric bakkerch bringing them all in but Blackwell in the season 26 of 32 in stolen bases you would think he's probably going at some point here nice and you know the Eric backage it's creative we showed them double squeeze that they had against Florida State when they were able to knock off the Seminoles win that series and get their season on track how creative can he be not only with the bottom of the order but although also with what Doland has shown yeah I mean I don't know if you call it offensive conference if you're just going to sack bomb um it could be overthinking this but it was a fake on steel right to hear where they're going to try to get Blackwell out to Second without giving an out up I think Jack Leggett wants to know too he looked at Eric back and just said all right what do we got going on here [Applause] [Music] Denton in at third Stark hasn't thrown out a lot at second but he has it first he's got four pick-offs on this season [Music] in fact coming into today he had nearly as many pick-offs as he did caught stealing [Music] there goes the runner great jump the throw from Stark is high and a stolen base for Benjamin Blackwell the ACC leaders got his 27. it just felt like if Eric bakkich is going to bring him in right there it's not going to be your run-of-the-mill sack bun we've seen this and this is kind of turned back to clock you don't see it quite as much big butt steal so it's going to keep the catcher back a little bit he can't jump as much because you got to respect the bat then wait for it keeps Stark back just long enough Blackwell steals his 27th back of the year and Clemson's got one in scoring position for the first time tonight excuse me second time today the third out of the second inning occurred at home plate Stark will step out and that'll bring veteran pitching coach Frank Anderson to the mound to have a meeting this is the Clemson team that's got a lot of speed on it Blackwell in canarella 1-2 in the ACC in stolen bases and Bertram is just that side of the top five he's got 18 of his own that was the 100 stolen base of the season for Clemson in 123 tribes [Applause] Frank Anderson looks like a main character on Yellowstone he fit just fine on that Tony vitello got to know Frank Anderson when he was a player and an assistant at Missouri in the Big 12 going against both Texas and Oklahoma State where Anderson coached Blake Burke is 20 feet down the line at first base Gerald's bunt is fouled off [Music] Burke charging with the ID he's left-handed so if it's if it's a hot one hopper to him I think his thought at least going in that hard is to take a look to third first you have plenty of time would they just send Blackwell in a straight steal uh it depends on how far Denton comes in I mean they're going to square again not running yet butts pop back I think it's the best spot to throw it when somebody swears tomorrow go high fastball inside because it's hard to get out of the way and so often you'll either see that reaction you see the ball goes straight up in the air and you still stealing out thank you [Music] [Applause] this scene is something else [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] the one two to Gerald [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] dolander again with the one two in a fake to second [Applause] foreign [Applause] [Applause] ERS 2-2 line drive to left field Blackwell stops at third came out of his hat with the throw and Clemson cooking with Runners at the corners and nobody out Jacob Gerald a freshman who did not play yesterday he's got too productive at bats so far he walked in his first at-bath to lead to third off fouled a few bumps off got to a two-strike count shortened up shot a fastball to left now Clemson first and third nobody out they turn the lineup over thank you [Music] [Applause] so here's canarella who at this time last year just finished his senior season down at Hartsville High School playing for the red foxes he had one home run as a senior in high school he's got six in his first year of college ball and a breaking ball for a strike [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] canarella was a high school shortstop at Hartsville when he showed up here in the fall he started hitting and he kept hitting and he kept hitting and his coaching staff needed to find a spot for him that spot was center field the position that's new to him but the hitting has continued and now he's in the lead off spot wow 99 change up last time to canarella was there 0-2 elevated fastball got him his swing through that time change up that was almost too hard to the Freshman now see if they try to climb the ladder with a fastball like they did last time against it [Music] well hit deep right field canarella's done it a three-run shot how many did you say hit a senior year in high school Uno let's say the strength program's done okay so far here at Clemson The Freshman facing the first rounder for the third time hit a missile the first time up punched out the second time up this time got a hanging change up deposited to right center field in Clemson's first three runs are on that swing by the Freshman Camp canarella it is 3-1 tigers 13th home run Allowed by dolander this season and a first pitch strike into Cooper Ingle this place is absolutely batty right now roller to Moore off balance and that's the first out of the fifth [Applause] [Music] [Applause] will Taylor's turn [Music] nothing in one [Applause] [Music] is it coincidence that the Clemson offense showed up right about the time our food from the Cajun Cafe walked in I think not barbecue smoke and smoke bombs [Applause] my favorite part of this year is sharing college baseball with the masses that don't usually see it and these atmospheres around the country the two on [Applause] it looked like it missed down the middle yeah you get environments like this and fan bases and there's so much baseball history here it goes back to coach Wilhelm before and then Coach Leggett obviously Eric bakkerch is reinvigorated this place and it helps when you've been the hottest team in the country for the last month and a half oh that one stroke deep to left field off the fence Taylor with a long single 105 off the bat nearly knocked the wall over [Music] that's a decent athlete right there ACC championships in both football and baseball now and that one just about put a hole in the left field wall big old turnaround first base he stays put I know these stand put for long I I'd be surprised if Taylor's not running it maybe on the first pitch Caden Grace hit the plate 1-0 [Applause] crowd out in a strikeout looking for Grace Taylor is a perfect eight for eight on the base pads [Music] [Applause] okay [Applause] [Music] try to keep him close [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] there's action in the Tennessee Bullpen Bill Landers throwing 91 pitches to this point Chase Burns is on the mound right now and Camden Sewell is also stretching a little bit and here comes Tony vitello it's a 3-1 Clemson lead [Music] and they're going to turn it over to chase Burns in the fifth he is occupied a variety of roles for Tennessee this season and last and Tony vitello put his chips in the middle of the table going to burns down a pair here in the fifth season then to the bullpen this will be the second earliest he's entered the game as a reliever what does this tell you it tells you that Tennessee wants to keep it right here and it also tells me that I don't think he's coming in just to get a few guys if you're bringing Burns in right now you're trying to keep it 3-1 or three runs at least on the Clemson side as long as you can this is some of the best pure stuff in the entire country and he's facing Kaden Grace running on the Move Grace into line drive into the corner it's down for extra bases Taylor will be waved home from third and it's a run scoring double on the first pitch from Burns just your typical hit and run double with Taylor on the Move yeah turn him loose and now just let him run and Will Taylor puts the brakes on for just a minute now it's go time and he's in top speed there aren't too many gonna throw him out scores easily on the Grice double the left field Taylor's fired up there's crowds fired up one pitch from Chase Burns and it's an RBI double for Kaden Grice team best 67th ready of the season for Grice third most in his conference here's Billy amick [Applause] [Music] [Applause] want to know to amick who's singled back in the second was hit by a pitch in the fourth [Applause] [Music] runner on the Move ground ball to Short ojuna two down well Clemson is really pushing the envelope with its base runners they are not taking their foot off the gas right now Taylor was off and moving that time Bryce was off a moving grice is four or five on a year in stolen bases you gotta remember two he's also on the mound I mean just double the left field now you put him in motion right there and it ends up because the ground ball stays on the infield but kind of feels like the boys in the Clemson dug on there back could smell a little bit of blood right now and they are trying to gonna try to get as many as they can as quick as they can [Music] Riley Bertram old for two tried to go safety on him and Christ got back to the back two down Bertram was flying a strikeout [Music] Chase Burns was the first team All-American last year eight and two with a sub three era as a freshman 1-1 to Bertram [Music] it's been a bit of a change for Chase Burns runner at third he's going from the wind up and he's changed to an overhead wind-up [Music] it's out of play talk with Eric bakkage coming up how odd is it late in the season to change something like that sometimes you're just looking for a little bit more Rhythm and that's what taking your hands over your head will do it gives you a little bit more you can time it up on a few different things you see Hands over the head and as he comes up to that balanced position as his leg goes up that's when the hands really start moving time everything up and it just feels like you got a little bit more rhythm going towards home to second Bertram retired Christian Moore handled it but the ACC freshman of the year only had one home run as his senior in high school last year at seven this year none bigger than this three-run shot in the fifth and Clemson's got a three-run lead punching head coach Eric bakkage uh let's go back to what just happened because there's a whole lot that happened right there you go lead off single a freshman turns one around and we talked up here he's got one home run his senior in high school I always got seven this year what's been the biggest thing for canarella this season you know it's it's he's got a slow heartbeat uh KP it's uh the beginning of the Fall you know we didn't really unders you know didn't really know him that well yet and um just thought he was quiet and he is quiet but he just has this unique ability to be able to stay centered and get back to the middle and he's just one of those guys that just doesn't really have extremes highs or lows and it allows them to be consistent mentally which allows him to be consistent at the place Eric what role does the Run game play for you guys offensively you know it's it's one of those things where we'll take it if it's there we train it every day do base running every day and we have some guys with some speed and those are the kind of lineups we like to construct where there's a balance of speed and power and you know we got burned on it early but we kind of live and die by that sword and when it's uh when it's there for us we're gonna and it's our Mo to be aggressive anyways so we had a couple outs on the bases early but they're aggressive aggressive plays and that's how we'll play thanks for your time we appreciate it sir all right guys thanks Eric package great scene pregame as 10 year old son Beau was out there taking fly balls with the center fielders and then jumping on guys backs during warm-ups like wearing the weight vest except it's a little ten-year-old from Sprints I like that approach two three and four do up for Tennessee this is Hunter Ensley [Music] you said earlier that Caden Grice has his good stuff tonight how can Tennessee try to impact that I tell you what they got to figure out a way to do some damage against the slider because the thing with Bryce tonight is you can't just stand up there and say we're going to take it because he's had the ability to land it a lot so if you stand up there and try to take it he's going to strike it out look they've got to figure a way to Center that one up because I think that's the only way you get him tonight that pitch has been too good [Applause] for a swing and a miss [Applause] [Music] and he starts mixing that one in and he's done it a few times today I mean then he's got three work if you go out there on a given night you get two of your best three working you're feeling pretty good about yourself you get all three working that's what Grace has going tonight that's the Unicorn night those are the ones you don't get very often and he's got that going so far nine strikeouts for Kaden Grice he's walked one here's Jared Dickey oh got him on the hand and he'll take first base [Applause] he's talking about it with Jacob Gerald [Music] that thing already red on the top of the hand [Music] thank you [Music] Jeff Wood in his 23rd season as the athletic trainer for this Tennessee program [Applause] watch and listen [Applause] backaches out asking if that hit the bat it did not that one didn't I mean he even had a pat on it he got the top of his wrist and then knocked it he knocked his Pad right off [Music] at least moved it back that one definitely did we've seen a few get the knobs so far this weekend got two batting gloves on that top one's got more of a padding on it it's still like it clipped him just before so Tennessee's got a base runner on here in the sixth one out middle of their lineup coming up [Music] and their home run leader Griffin Merritt another first pitch change up to Merit nothing in one [Music] curveball swung on nothing and two marital for two today but he's hit two balls really hard lined out to left field the first time in a one-hop screamer to shortstop his second time but now in an O2 hole the line out to the left is 112 off the bat laid off that one one and two [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Marriage playing time with sporadic at best early in the season when he fell into a bit of a slop and Tony vitella telling us yesterday that Merritt finally got frustrated enough after a midweek lineup that didn't include him and challenged the coach and the coach challenged him right back [Applause] he responded in a big way the third chance for two Bertram with the turn and a five 4-3 double play [Applause] they hit it hard again but now he's hit it right at guys three straight times Blake Wright starts it off to Bertram off to amick 5-4-3 to end his 4-1 Clemson till you go all in there's a

historical programs have met 11 times in the World Series the game starts at seven Eastern for Pacific on ESPN Espin Deportes and ESPN Radio our coverage begins at six Eastern 3 Pacific with baseball tonight Sunday night countdown rookie Bets with his 41st career lead-off home run the ninth most in major league history to start the game last night Max Muncie Homer three batters later and the Dodgers were off and running last night swan out of play to the left side mookie bets leading the league in war right now Josh Donaldson back last night went deep twice for the Yankees pretty good return for Guyton played since April 5th [Music] Blake right over two with a strikeout that one up in his eyes and Jared Dickey Jared Dickey's having a hard time keeping a cat cap on his head maybe it's because of the luxurious locks not since Rusty endser have we've seen a guy with hair like that for Tennessee Florida Texas Tech tied at three reckons got two home runs tonight Kentucky's taking a 2-1 lead on Indiana that one good later Benjamin Blackwell [Music] Blackwell just looks like a ball player doesn't he it runs like one too [Music] on ball one strike he didn't decide until late the process last summer that he was going to come back for his fifth season leads the conference in stolen bases solid at shortstop one and two his Fielding percentage is fourth highest in a season by a Tigers shortstop in Clemson history [Music] strike three on the edge 99 mile an hour fastball from Chase Burns [Music] they do wind up have land effect to the velocity Chase Burns just rare him back and letting it go sliders probably his best pitch as far as outcome ladies have a swing and Miss percentage about 58 percent but 99 doesn't hurt either walk me through that as Jacob Jarrell comes up what impact does an overhand wind up having velocity uh normally I don't think it would have any but what it can do is give you a little bit more confidence and then let the ball go a little bit Freer than maybe you were before generally when you do that it's it's because maybe you feel like you're a little bit too regimented doing what you were before and there's not enough rhythm going to home plate this gives him a little bit more rhythm in that move home slide it for a strike one and two [Applause] say went and he did back-to-back case from Burns and he breezes through the bottom of the order in the sixth inning hitting just 11 pitches we head to the seventh volunteers down three Christian more homered his last time off he's home in both games so far this weekend for Tennessee [Music] Ken Grice misses with his first I was taking a 4-2 lead on number 14 National seed Indiana State that's in the eighth inning that Brody Breck going in that one wrecked up to a hundred former College receiver that now said he's just going to focus on baseball moving forward that's a fair ball right in front of the bag and a beautiful Play Turned by Blake Wright good job of getting around that baseball too by Blake Wright he's got enough time it's not hit that hard slow roller right down that left field Live and instead of running straight through it try to get around it what's the route give himself a little bit more of an angle going to first base so it's it's not all your momentum going towards home plate at least some is going over to First time to make that throw across in plenty of time so one out for Blake Burke now from Blake Wright to Blake Burke and what do we got here umpires want to get together and discuss this I don't know if this was Grace related they're going to bring Eric bakkerch out they can explain to both head coaches package in the first face side of a tell over third how your lip reading skills [Music] they're just chirping and they're doing what you're always going to do in a game like this and they're trying to get out in front of it so don't doesn't go any further but they're taking notes in everything it must be serious Grice running in front of apartment Moore running in front of Grace that seems very normal to me it's 100 normal yeah I mean again the focus this year has been on let's just make sure the stuff doesn't escalate that's all that discussion was about but yeah I'm not going to hug him I mean that's not really the way this goes trying to win sometimes you chirp a little bit Burke's got a couple of Knocks after no for four last night 1-0 Tennessee's got three hits Christian Moore solo home run and Blake Burke has two ground ball singles that's it for the Vols 21. [Music] tied them up one and two come on down in Columbia South Carolina leads NC State six to one they're in the sixth inning at Founders Park [Music] [Applause] Burke to third right gobbled it up two down [Music] [Music] that's two backside ground balls and a ground ball up the middle of the night for Blake Burke and it was interesting Benjamin Blackwell the shortstop had shaded him up the middle and was sprinting back to the shortstop position right before that pitch was made in the end it was hit to ride at third Wright seems like he's playing loose here's Zane Denton [Music] struck out looking last time and gives this one a ride to center field canarella on his horse to defense and it's gone canarella running running slope no warning track here lost his footing and dense connected for his 13. thank you for 35 years Bill Wilhelm was the head coach here at Clemson he didn't like the look of a traditional warning track so he said let's just have a slope like old Crosley field and that slope may have cost canarella a chance to get this one yeah I think you're right I think it just got one of his guys this one off the bat 101 and with 385 feet canarella's there and he may have had a chance if he times that right he's got a chance to potentially bring back that back but chopped his steps right before he got to the wall two solo home runs Tennessee is the score of the night they needed something positive offensively right there Denton gave it to him it's all just their fourth hit of the night here's Christian Scott who grounded out to second base his last time up it is a very unique Look Around The Outfield just green as far as the eye can see and a couple of tiger paws in right and left the slope used to be a little bit more pronounced before they moved the fences in and longer and you can see it at the bottom of the fence [Applause] foreign [Applause] Scott now [Applause] Christ had only allowed five home runs through his first 72 Innings pitch this season he's allowed two now over the last four frames shift is on for Scott pulled that one foul [Applause] [Music] [Applause] right at Bertram dropped to a knee to take care of it but the Zane Denton home run gave Tennessee a little bit of life time to stretch Clemson leads by two first runs tonight for Clemson before that swing they trailed it one nothing in the Freshman his seventh of the year was on a hanging changeup out into right center field they would add one more in the inning solo home run by Tennessee in the top half of the seventh kisses to four to two jump loud from the Charleston Post and Courier wrote a great piece on canarella and his upbringing down in Hartsville he's sends this one off the bag that's a fair ball canarella hits the corner and heads to second it's a lead off double [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Cooper Engel coming up [Music] in that piece Blau talked with his high school coach Tony Gainey he said I knew it was going to be good as a freshman because in ninth grade he had feet like canoes he's grown into those canoes and he can pick up and put down the canoes they move just fine [Music] in the dirt [Applause] Craig crowd in the ballpark tonight 6275 just a couple of hundred off from the all-time attendance record here Doug kinsmore Stadium [Music] 2-1 to Ingle [Applause] [Applause] Chase dolander started this game with four in a third [Music] Burns followed [Applause] Sky High Denton from third one down so they decided to go to burns when trailing in the fifth inning what does that do for Tennessee's pitching the rest of the weekend well you haven't burned them yet for the rest of the weekend you're probably burned him for tomorrow but if Tennessee can get to Monday and this pitch count stays I would say below 40. then you could probably bring Burns back to get three outs I mean if if there's a team that's built to come through the losers bracket in this Regional it's Tennessee they're so deep on the mound tell Tony vitello Frank Anderson tonight saying we need to keep it right where it is right now see our for our offense to come back steal this one they still got six outs to play with here's Will Taylor [Music] first football baseball two sport player at Clemson in 10 years Runner goes throw to third is in time what a tag by Denton [Applause] it's his second great tag on a stolen base attempt by Tennessee infielder tonight at Kel Stark Who coming to this one and throwing out six of 49 base runners now thrown out two tonight look at Denton gets there just in time he's moving he it's not like he can get there and set on the base he was playing deep over in third base so he's got a catch tag do everything on the roof on the Run just got canarella right on a helmet to tags on the Noggin 98 misses up one and two [Music] swinging a Miss on the slider lead off double does no damage and how about Chase Burns he's got the good stuff too the slider is one of the best in the entire country Burns another strikeout 4-2 Clemson [Applause] [Music] [Applause] grab your phone hold it up the TV open up the camera app and scan the QR code unless you have a flip phone in that case I don't know what to tell you ESPN's Squeeze Play can't be yours on ESPN plus and they have a quad box going right now that includes Kentucky try to hold on at home against Indiana bottom the seventh the Hoosiers have a para board Florida has come back to tie Texas Tech but the Red Raiders in Gainesville have the bases loaded that's also in the seventh and here we are in the eighth of our 1-0 game [Music] Burns has kept Tennessee within Striking Distance thanks also to a Zane Denton home run in the seventh Cal Stark leads off and even zakata 1-1 after falling one back Caden Grice been efficient too he's punched out eight guys with that pitch count still in a good spot hit one block one and working into the eighth and still below 100 pitches you cheated him one I got him a nine three six seven well you're right how about that you struck out nine I brought my Abacus with me to help keep track one two three four five six seven eight nine very good you did it and a flamingo [Applause] two and two to the Tennessee catcher Cal Stark [Music] [Applause] make it strikeout number 10. [Music] [Applause] he's got one at every inning but the second struck out the side to start the game and Kaden Grice hadn't let up since then it's the change up down and away it's mixed it up really well second time through now third time through the order now he'll face Maui yahuda for the fourth time who he struck out three times ahuna and Ensley 1-2 in this lineup over six with six punch-outs let's track out here but a first pitch ground out two down in the eighth [Applause] action [Music] Hunter Ensley oh for three with three K's it's like Kahuna was before him as you mentioned [Music] again swinging at the first and it's a 1-3-3 framework by Grice eight pitches for three outs Clemson in control headed to the home half of the eight the bottom of the eighth Kaden Grace on the mound and at the plate front scoring double at the plate in the fifth inning and on the mound he is one off of his season high for strikeouts he's got 10. [Music] [Applause] 1 [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Grace is a little bit confusing for some MLB Scouts how and where do you take them uh I think maybe you let him do both honestly Brenda McKay of Louisville few years ago went pro doing just the same thing it's not the upper end velocity that you see with most of the guys that go high in the draft right now I mean he said tonight really 90-92 it's enough and we've seen that it's enough the slider is the difference baby that is the equalizer for Grace that's what's been so good tonight against righties he's had a really good change up too [Applause] full cap to Grace a lot of heat in the building as you would imagine for the MLB prospects on both sides 3-2 pitch not just enough to stay alive [Applause] Texas Tech couldn't cash in and that space is loaded situation they've gone to the eighth in Gainesville tied with Florida three a piece [Applause] Oklahoma State were both eliminated in just two games last year the national seeds cruise through the Regionals we've seen more parity in the college game it seems like it I mean 2-1 seats went oh and two [Music] at Indiana State with some work to do right now but that one to Short sycamore's base is loaded one out in the Eighth Day Trail Iowa by one Indiana State the one seed there [Music] Virginia 2-1 over East Carolina that's getting late we saw so much offense day one and at least in these late games today it's been a lot more of a pitchers duel here's Billy amick All-American season for the Clemson first baseman nothing in one [Music] bloop single in the second he's one for two tonight [Music] [Applause] this will be the 40th pitch of the night for burns Miss wide with 99. still feeling okay yeah haven't seen triple digits tonight from Burns but many times when he's out there you will [Music] Denton on the Run just in time with a nice stretch from Burke two down [Music] Zane Denton had to charge this thing and come through it left his feet [Music] he got amick by a half a step good analysis time thank you jumping right in you're gonna read the next promo [Music] for three baseball families brother Drew played at Purdue so the brother Ryan played at Southern Indiana [Music] grad transfer from Zionsville Indiana by way of Michigan and this ball is laced to right field Bertram wide turn headed for second to throw he came off the bag Christian Scott with the assist [Applause] and we head to the ninth last chance for Tennessee down two thing off a season high for strikeouts for grice is 11. he did that against Louisville earlier this year 10 right now and a chance to tie it or break it in this ending the slide has been so important tonight Grace thrown a ton of Strokes ton of strikes excuse me walk one hit one punched out ten and that works into the ninth still under a hundred pitches [Applause] three four and five do up for Tennessee this is Jared Dickey and he slices one foul nothing in two [Applause] five run eights for Indiana State they now lead Iowa 7-4 to the ninth back-to-back Knights Indiana state has taken a lead in the eighth crooked numbers have been the difference makers Clemson's got a four run fifth to race what was the one nothing Tennessee lead [Music] winner this 1-0 game is in the cat bird seat little Tapper to the left side Blackwell on the run one down glitter goes to the regional final night at six o'clock the loser will have to return tomorrow noon to take on Charlotte in an elimination game [Applause] Griffin Merritt is a Tennessee home run leader he's got 18 of them [Applause] [Music] [Applause] slider for a strike foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] to short again Blackwell two down pretty smooth over there Blackwell the beauty to start this inning and waits back on that knows he's got plenty of arm strength to finish it off they did go fastball kind of Center cutting down Kaden Grice a pitch away from going CG and putting Clemson to the driver's seat here in their own Regional foreign [Applause] Grace looks like he's just out walking his dog [Applause] Christian Moore has one of two home runs tonight for Tennessee his was a solo shot in the fourth [Applause] 2-0 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] two and one line drive to right field Tennessee still has life more we'll stop it first continues to build on what it's been the last two days for more solo home run back in the fourth inning this time that single to right keeps it going brings up Blake Burke who has two hits already tonight [Music] Burke was over four last night and has been in a bit of a second half slump but if the first two hits are any indication that his confidence could be returning [Applause] he's always a danger for the long ball [Applause] single in the fourth came off the bat at 105. [Applause] Grace 110 pitches into his game [Music] [Applause] [Music] see how long they leave him out all right Kate Grice has been hanging out the ballpark all weekend he was in the stands last night for the Tennessee game he was back in the stands earlier today for the Charlotte Lipson game nothing at two it's last strike [Applause] grounded to the right side it gets thrown another two out hit more heads to third the throw there is cut off by Bertram [Applause] and Tennessee has the tying run on base third hit of the game for Blake Burke and it sets the stage for Zane Denton who did this in the seventh Tennessee needed something offensively Zane didn't gave him just enough just out of the outstretch glove of Camp canarella the freshman center fielder but now two two out singles by Tennessee it brings Denton to the plate if he does it again the balls that have the lead Tennessee will send a pinch runner in for Bert the pinch Runner is Ethan Payne he represents the tying run Eric vacchich good talk to the Umpire he's going to say he's going to leave the game as a pitcher but we're going to leave him in this one goes extras he can get another at bat Ryan Ammons have been warming in the Clemson play what an effort by Kate and Grice tonight he wanted to finish it [Music] but he held this dangerous Tennessee offense to just two runs on a couple of solo home runs and six hits [Music] 10 strikeouts and one walk for Grace [Applause] so Bryce would trade his uh [Music] pitcher's meant for a first baseman's glove and he'll take over over at first tonight's not done yet huh you can hardly get a shake hands threw one glove aside got another thrown at it didn't even get a cup of Gatorade here's Ryan Ammons Jr from over in Easley South Carolina six foot 205 pounds 2-0 360 era five saves it's been kind of closure by committee for Clemson this year face in Denton from the right side then the switch hitter with ramen's pretty fastball heavy to Riders excuse me the right-handers this year it's 75 percent of the time that he throws that pitch [Music] if Tennessee is able to come back in this game it'll be based on their two out hitting they're now six for 13 with two out Tony vitello's team making a game of it late [Music] Denton comes into this game 259 against lefties versus 280 against righties solo home run came with two outs in the seventh [Music] he has come up big in big moments going all the way back to his little league days a Grand Slam in an elimination game in Williamsport against the team out of Newark Delaware [Music] and an opportunity here with two on and two out [Music] [Applause] [Music] first pitch fastball nothing in one that's where Ammons will try to live gets ahead he'll go a little bit further up a little bit further up with that fastball Denton might not see anything else and again nothing and two Tennessee down to its last strike the O2 to Denton fastball low [Applause] [Applause] sets off the plate lowing in first two batters of this ninth inning for Tennessee so one pitch a piece Dickey and Merritt both grounded out to Short and in more with a single Burke with a single the 2-2 to Denton well ahead deep out it is gone [Applause] [Music] Tennessee leads by one on a go ahead Bob from Zane Denton his second of the night [Music] [Applause] well that changed pretty quick two outs nobody on the more single the Blake Burke single and then this saint Denton's first one snuck out this one didn't sneak it out anywhere got all of that one to left 104 off the bat 410 feet that three-run shot gives the balls the lead back my oh my and now Christian Scott at the plate before that pitch everybody in one shade of orange was losing their mind after the pitch the other shade of orange went delirious 2-0 [Applause] did that go over the roof I was watching everything else because I knew it was going out now 3-0 to Scott and Ammons loses Scott on a four-pitch walk following the Denton home run [Applause] [Music] Eric backich is out and he's going back to the bullpen head to the Clemson half of the ninth it'll be the bottom third of the order do up [Applause] Grice left after back-to-back singles Ammons is done after a home run and a walk foreign [Applause] Tennessee's got a one-run lead thanks to a two-out rally in the night Rob Hughes is the third pitcher of the ninth inning for Clemson the guy who started the inning Kate and Grice missed out on a complete Game he's now over at first base 11th appearance for Hughes 135 era he's got a couple of saves for Hughes primarily fastball changeup fastball into the low 90s changeup is his best secondary stuff for Clemson just trying to get back in the dugout be seven eight nine do up for Clemson in the ninth and they Trail it for the first time since the bottom of the fifth inning Zane Denton just went full Joe Milton against Clemson here's Cal Stark last time these teams met in the postseason Milton threw for 251 yards and Tennessee big Clemson in the Orange Bowl Hughes just came right out of his cap nothing in one [Applause] Florida Texas Tech tied at three top of the ninth inning in Gainesville Hughes again can't keep the lid on [Music] [Applause] Gerald tried to bring it back it didn't work uh correction Texas Tech leads 5-3 top of the ninth Florida is the visiting team in that game one two pitch swinging a Miss at one in the dirt [Applause] Tennessee with a two out rally a couple of singles in a Zane Denton home run [Applause] second home run of the night for Denton deep into the South Carolina night over the road and it's a one-run lead in the night for UT Tennessee took advantage of its last chance now it's Clemson's turn and Blake Wright looks at a first pitch strike from Tennessee reliever Chase Burns who entered in the fifth one to right field it's a long run for Christian Scott and he lays out but it goes against the fence Wright standing up at second base with the lead off double [Applause] [Applause] Blake right hunting fastball right here and he got one 11th double of the year and none have been bigger than this and Christian Scott just about made a top top one play on SportsCenter right there lays out just off his glove ends up on that hill and into the fence but it's a lead off double for Blake Wright Clemson's got something going there tonight that is the first hit for right this weekend he was over seven so much drama college baseball right now the boys on Squeeze Play you can't even take their seats Schick roads and Burke standing at attention here's Benjamin Blackwell two for three tonight [Applause] Blackwell's buttons fouled back nothing in one [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] reach for it nothing and two [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and he went strike three for Blackwell fourth strikeout for burns one down winning doubt James version James Burns gonna go to slide and he got a swing through on a bunt which you don't see very often and then a check swing right there Blackwell went around far enough tried to bunt twice couldn't get it down then punches out on the slider big first out right there for burns first pitch slider for a strike to Jacob Gerald [Music] back to back nothing can two [Applause] all right [Applause] got him swinging and now it's Clemson down to its last out well leadoff doubled it back-to-back strikeouts and burns just leans on the one that he knows best that Blackwell swinging up slider this time gets Gerald swinging on the exact same thing now the Freshman who is provide plenty of drama already and this one comes up he's already gone deep if he does it here Clemson walks him off [Applause] came with only one win when trailing after eight Innings that one win have been the one that keyed their season turnaround it was a 12th inning comeback against Vanderbilt game one of that series that they would eventually sweep yeah that came out of Griffin walk-off home run after they homered down to it slashed down to their last strike in the night another timeout used by Clemson to try to set something up [Music] message was right there but the tone from Eric bakic was perfect it was just calming The Freshman has stepped up in some big spots today ahead of Blake right on the backside after his laid off double but just try to get everybody grounded here at the biggest biggest spot in the game the lob to second to keep from being charged for ball and they tried the hidden ball trick at least for a moment [Music] three-run home run for camp canarell in the fifth a double that smoked off the first base bag into seven [Applause] he loves that pitch doesn't he and you feel like it I don't know if this was said but if there's any message to canarella about a pro trite here it's you can go up there and lean slider because you're going to see a few fastball gets to the backstop headed to third is right and the tying run now 90 feet away with two out [Applause] Nick Schnabel with some instruction for his base runner and when you missed your spot that's not an easy one to get to and Cal Stark even though he was sitting out there can't square that one up with tying Brown just 90 feet away 1-1 swing in the Miss in the slider it's one and two to canarella [Applause] record Burns working with the lead for the first time tonight the 1-2 pitch [Music] [Applause] well he's headed to Second and he will limp into the bag third extra base hit of the game for canarella we are tied at five [Applause] freshman having some kind of coming out party tonight ACC freshman of the year but he is doing it at the biggest spot he got another slider down to the Zone hammered it out to right center field you just swung through the exact same pitch and this one was melted out to Right Center then he got a hitch in his get him yeah looks like he just turned his ankle you're most worried about a hamstring right there but I think he may hit first base a little weird Kimberly Hill is the athletic trainer in her first season for Clemson out with Eric bakkage and that calming voice again from backage [Applause] I think it's when he hit the bag because it it looks like he's moving different on the ankle or maybe the first step after what a night for this kid [Music] that was his second step after that right ankle kind of turned right after he went around first base but he is staying in now they will intentionally walk Cooper Engel right there set up to force it second to run on first Mains nothing right now [Music] this place was bonkers the second the gates open Will Taylor documented his ACC championships in both football and baseball also a three-time state champion in wrestling and a first pitch slider catches the edge nothing in one [Music] [Applause] Taylor told us that during the Florida state Series in which they solved everything that every game was like a tournament game and he played with a high level of intensity trying to match it here one and two [Applause] [Applause] swing in a miss three strikeouts in the inning for burns but Blake Wright with a double camp canarella with another extra base hit and we got free baseball amidst all the orange and Clemson to take the lead and then Clemson with a pair of doubles to tie it up again Kyle Peterson Tom Hart our fantastic crew here in Clemson and we go to the 10th of this 1-0 game with the winner heading to the regional final the loser has to turn around and play again tomorrow at noon top of the order due up for Tennessee it starts with Maui ahuna who is over four Rob Hughes fastball is fouled off nothing in one foreign struck out the first three times in a weak ground ball over the first base but all will be forgotten if he can figure out a way to get on right now and he does just that snuck it under the glove of Kate Grice over at first [Applause] [Music] and that'll bring Hunter Ensley up [Music] [Applause] Ensley is over four Tennessee not a team that buns the Lodge's 12-sack bumps on the year Ensley has one thank you [Applause] I have a slash right there see what the defense gives him pulls it back got us try I don't think he was taking one right there if he got a strike he was free to swing [Music] 101. [Music] Ensley into the regular season oh for his last nine that was following a four for five game one against South Carolina and he's now just one for his last 17. two and two [Music] these two teams first met in 1925. I can't imagine they played one with more interest than this one that was close [Music] [Applause] [Music] 6275 in the building for this one nobody has left [Applause] fouled right back you're gonna catch that one I was ready yeah I mean you got a really good chance if there's a net in front of you and the windows closed that's when it's it's fun to act really tough that's when you're gonna act like you're gonna make a play just put your nose into it glad the ladder on him and Ensley goes down swinging spot right there by Hughes before he wants to live fastballs at the upper part of the Zone this one was beyond the upper part of the Zone that's a good six eight inches high but mansley in protect mode went after one he thought he could get a piece of he couldn't dig first out as a strikeout here in the 10th for Rob Hughes so here's Jared Dickey oh that was tough inside for a strike with a changeup Dickey was hit by a pitch in the sixth he's over three tonight back to back change UPS nothing and two [Music] [Applause] I think I'd try to speed his eyes up a little bit that's back to back change-ups you're gonna throw three in a row I want to bounce this and see if we can get him to Chase [Applause] fastball up and it's popped up Shallow left Taylor coming on two down good sequence right there change up change up get to O2 Elevate the fastball in on Dickie's hands and not enough time to get the barrel to it interesting side note for Clemson's half of the 10th inning when Kaden gries left the mound and went over to first base they took out Billy amick they lost their DH l so they'll have a open spot with a pitcher due up second in the 10th [Music] here's Griffin Merritt 18 home runs in the year including one last night and he takes a fastball for strike one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] nothing in two 93 mile an hour fastball from Hughes we've seen more velocity what makes you so tough top of the Zone has got a ton of carry good set fastball it just stays right where he lets it Go and that's why he just keeps trying to go up in the zone with it runner on and two down in the 10th strikeouts in the 10th for Hughes [Applause] fastball up fastball up and for Hughes that's where he wants to live leadoff single stranded at first chance for Clemson to win it in the 10th a couple of singles and then Zane Denton left the entire building over the grandstand Roof Tennessee took a one-run lead comfortable right not so much Blake Wright with a lead off double in the ninth inning with two outs Kim canarella drove him home and so we play on bottom half of the 10th this is Kaden Grice two-way standout start of the game on the mound he was out away from a 10 strikeout complete game win [Music] he's one for four at the play [Applause] fastball Velo for burns he was living 96 to 99 first fastball this inning in 94. that's the lowest we've seen pitch count getting up there for a guy that started the year in the starting rotation but the back half of the year has worked out of the bullpen only through 26 last time out May 20th in South Carolina [Applause] here's with the change up behind in the count to one of the most dangerous hitters in the country Bryce third in the ACC in RBI and a home run leader on this team was 17. 2-1 [Applause] [Music] now two and two Chase Burns left the rotation during the Arkansas series mid-april that first time out of the pin he threw 79 pitches since then he hadn't thrown more than 50 in any relief about it 2-2 to Grace a little roller to the right side against the shift and Grace is going to reach lead off man off for Clemson at Utah shift on this and that means Maui yahuna is on the second base side of second base listen he's super talented out of shortstop but this specific play I don't know the last time he had to try to make this it's charging in from second one you got to Bear handed two you almost can't throw it not gonna flip it because you're so close but when he doesn't feel the cleanly no chance and Clemson has a lead off man on here in the 10th edit watch hahuna's route I mean it is very direct over towards first base and minota gets away grice is on First and he wasn't moving great after he had first pass that's not a good sign and so we'll have a couple of pinch appearances here they'll use a time out here Mac Starbuck will be the pitch hitter and Grace back into the meeting with the third base coach Schnabel and backache remember Starbucks hitting here because Grice started the game as the pitcher and when he came off the mound instead of having a DH in the batting order he went to first base they haven't had a DH all night a similar role for Starbuck Clemson's first game against Lipscomb he pinched it in the eighth inning came in and bumped it there would assume if you're pinch hitting him here that's exactly what you're intended to do you mentioned Grace looked a little bit wobbly going into first but he's staying in the game a chat with a first base coach Griffin major they're going to need him to be able to stretch those long legs at 6-6 Starbuck a junior from over in Easley South Carolina [Applause] [Music] they not only do they have the pitcher spot do up because of the switch but they also lost their All-American Billy amick who was hit here in the five hole burns his pitch fastball up [Music] to schedule looked this looked like the game of the night in college baseball it has lived up to all expectations [Music] [Applause] 2-0 [Music] now you may be taking one show butt pull it back saw Stark look down to First she's got four pick-offs on the year from behind the plate [Music] [Applause] [Music] Starbuck takes it for a strike two and one looked like a good one to bunt huh yeah pretty good pitch too though I mean outside black down at the knees Nick Starbuck Let It Go I don't think he was taken I think he let it go because he thought there was a chance it was off the plate three and one [Music] 70 pitches into the night for burns who entered this game in the fifth [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Starbucks takes ball four and there's two on with nobody out [Music] and the veteran Riley Bertram calmly strides to the play [Applause] Bertram rejoined Eric back in share Clemson after playing four for four years in Michigan foreign it was a key piece of the 2019 College World Series team it's got one hit tonight Bartram shows blunt thought that it clipped him he was trying to make his case to Dave cotton in the home plate on fire [Music] you don't know if you don't ask might as well in that spot square is all the way up keeps his feet in a good spot thankfully just about clipped his back trying to get it out of the way but he's now one on count and that one guy and got not happy he got him right in the calf you got to go get birds because he's out of gas he's giving you everything he want man I mean he came in kept it gave up a lead off double but after that was outstanding the rest of the way but it is Bases Loaded nobody outs and it just seems like Burns is out of stuff it's Seth Halverson Sometimes the best indicator is how big is the Miss and the Miss is getting bigger for Chase Burns foreign [Music] ER at third let off with a single Starbuck wanted to blunt but got walked he was trying to give himself up he's now at second and Bertram was plucked in the cap he's at first Blake Wright a chance to be the hero infield in for Tennessee and a first pitch slider for a strike [Applause] Wright scored the tying run in the ninth yeah if you're Blake Wright you can you can now expect to see that slider a few more times now that he's ahead nothing in two that's his comfort zone that's the one that he trusts the most and it's the best one that he's got Bases Loaded nobody out tie game in the 10th here's the O2 pitch slider did he go they know [Applause] and as odd as it sounds now with the bases loaded it's allowed Burns to go back to that full windup and over the head where he's looked more comfortable today [Applause] [Music] one two swing and a miss got him with the bases loaded and now the infield can go down that fastball control may have left him for a little bit but the control of this one didn't that was his best slider of the day that was 90. and that was the slider Chase Burns digging deep right now and finding something else he's going to lean on that one the rest of the way if you're Clemson hitters I would eliminate the fastball until he shows you can throw it for a strike because that is the one to chase Burns trust right now [Music] Tennessee's only turned 25 double plays on the season bottom third in the SEC slider fouled off nothing in one [Applause] outfielders in playing at a point did you know you got a chance to throw the runner out if it's over your head it makes no difference they're going to score from third base they're going to make sure you're in a spot that you know you have a legitimate chance to throw that guy out at home a one nothing until [Applause] [Music] [Applause] King grace started this game on the mound chance to win it for Clemson Chopper to the right side Tennessee needs two a home [Applause] win it based on the replay Tony bartello knows that they're gonna go take another look at this one what'd you think to the naked eye I thought he was out I thought he was out and it's bang bang and a great decision right there by Moore because the game can speed up and you can try to go home and I'm not sure if they're going to get it out but [Music] he's out and he's out by about a spike but he was out the only question is is that right foot of Ethan Payne stay on the bag was lifting up I don't know if we've got that shot the ball beaten I think if you go slow with down the ball beat it yeah it didn't beat it by much but the ball Beat It [Music] the decision by Moore so you got middle back right there and there's a part of you I think in this ball where you're thinking I gotta go home I got to go home but immediately turns flips and then ahuna he's got a big time arm and he needed all of it right there I understand the call on the field was safe but I think this one gets overturned and we play on [Music] replay review being conducted in Pittsburgh Ruiz is the crew chief [Music] we've had drama at every step why not more [Music] double play Tennessee stays alive Tony vitello is fired up and a volunteers get a new lease on this game we head to the 11th Tennessee five Clemson five pitch especially against ridies in the 10th inning Clemson had the bases loaded with nobody out the sliders strikeouts to right got things started and then a 4-6-3 double play Chase Burns found a slider I think that that last double play was maybe on a fastball was down but besides that man he leaned on that slider I'll give that kid a ton of credit because he is going on fumes and when they needed him the most he came and made the two straight batters some of the biggest pitches of the game Tennessee has won Extra Inning win this season that was game one against Bandy that we documented before that remains the only game where they've come back after trailing in the eighth inning and that was the one that turned their season around after being swept at Arkansas the week prior and losing a midweek at home to Tennessee Tech Christian Morris had a big night at the plate homered in the fourth Singleton scored in the night Clemson is over one and Extras this year [Music] one and two we might have to get the Cajun Cafe to reheat the food they sent up [Applause] maybe put the wings back on the grill for a half second they're still going strong out there still see smoke coming up they're not done yet nope [Applause] one two to more [Applause] let's call from Lindley right there arm Side Run just pouring in on the Hands Christian Moore right there [Applause] that is a fair ball into right field Moore on his way to Second Ball coming off the hill for Engel and a lead-off double for Christian Moore's third hit of the night go ahead and have yourself an evening young man it was all your interview last night that's what did it just kind of kept everything going for Christian Moore the solo home run they got Tennessee on the board back in the fourth siegelman scored in the ninth and now this took that same fastball that he had fouled off just a minute ago got the barrel to it this time shoots it down to right field line at Tennessee has their lead off man on here in the 11th got the lead off man on in the 10th on anahuta single but Ansley Dickey and Merritt went down in order following and now Ethan Payne will make his first plate appearance he'll get a visit from Josh elander pain came on as a pinch runner for Blake Burke Houston Payne is 11 in bats the whole year when you're from Memphis this will never forget his 12th [Applause] Michelle bunt breaking ball throwback to second [Applause] oh man Blackwell beat him to the bag just couldn't get the tag on him I don't think that's a really good idea by The Freshman catcher Jacob Jarrell came up looking and base runner you got to make sure you read that baseball down now not too far off reaches that right hand and goes all the way to the outside part of the bag to make sure he can get past the tag there's the punt to the left side of the mound a slip and the throw is good that was the first step-batic it's a power five team since May of last year for Ethan Payne sacrifice puts the go ahead run a third [Music] is about as good as you can do it you Force at their basement to come in and even though he doesn't feel it then there's no chance you can get the out over a third for Ethan Payne is his 12th the bat of the year did not have a sacrifice but until right there and he laid down a beauty and now Jackson Lindley don't have to deal with Zane Denton they're going to put tonight's Tennessee Hero on base with an automatic walked after he homered in his previous two abs what is Tony vitello wondering about talking with Dave Condon Christian Scott coming up [Applause] Clemson's in the bottom pardon me Clemson is second in the ACC and double play

he's not gonna see one here for Garrus this is the elevated fastball he's going to try to live at the upper part of the zone and I would suspect that's where he tries to go with Scott right here 's the 2-2 to Christian Scott strike three throws him with 92. it wasn't elevated but it was the fastball at such a tough at bat right there for Scott because you're facing somebody that has a totally different skill set and set of stuff and Garris comes in doesn't waste any time just pumps 92 right down the middle [Applause] [Music] looks like Dylan dreiling has grabbed a bat for Tennessee the catcher cow Stark do up in this situation Stark is over three [Applause] [Music] [Applause] trailing the Kansas native has seven pinch hits his last was a game-tying solo home run in the ninth inning against Vanderbilt and they come from behind game on April 21st puppies get eight he's eight for 15 now as a pinch hitter after one last night and they'll switch up and go back to the bullpen before dryling sees the pitch backaches off smile he says Hey listen threw one pitch he did your job the one pit strikeout you know get that very often that tied a record or something so they'll go to Tristan Smith the Lefty defense Tennessee's best pinch hitter [Music] tell you what the chess game between these two guys between Eric baggage Tony vitello started a long time ago fake bun steal Clemson starts getting really active on the base pass now you bring the right-hander in to give him a different look the minute dryley's announced from the left side let's go back to the bullpen we'll show you left this one's been fun you just never know what's going to happen at the Ballpark including the nice fan who just came to me and handed me a pair of sunglasses to ask if I could announce that they were lost I sent him over to the booth next door sir we're working here I don't know if we're gonna help with that much but we do appreciate the kindness I mean we have had everything in this game go ahead home run in the ninth inning game tying doubles in the bottom of the ninth Clemson seemingly won this thing in the 10th to call it first was overturned it was a double play Smith's 24th appearance of the year he has 43 strikeouts in 30 and a third and we have a nice pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses up here come to the side door to claim them please for whatever reason you left in the seventh and left him here come on back we've got them sun was out when this thing started might be up by the time it finishes [Music] Eric bakkage made some changes when he got this job taking over in his first year one of the first changes he made or uh if not the first most dramatic was a physical change to the team building down the first Baseline instead of a player's lounge and some empty space that they had set up he essentially put in a classroom and a long time assistant under Tim Corbin at Vandy before that was an assistant with corbs here under Jack Leggett and in that second floor what was some empty space is now theater style seating just like you would find in a lecture hall and it's film work every day and it's pointing out the good things and the bad and it's teaching points we'll take a more methodical approach to the game and it's before the game we saw Clemson's players heading up that way today before this one [Applause] Clemson with a freshman on the mound this is Tristan Smith The Boiling Springs South Carolina facing Dylan dreiling he is eight for 15 as a pinch hitter this year and he's swinging and sends a little roller up the first base line dryling trying to beat Grace he's out as Grace told for the bag what a play by tonight's starting pitcher now at first base and he used every bit of his 6-6 frame he said don't worry about it don't even look at replay I got him [Music] started this game but amount came out went directly to first went flipped his glove in The Dugout they threw him another one this is a game saver on a swinging bun too and if he's 6'4 I don't think he makes this play but you know what he's six six and he just did knows he's the only guy that has a chance gloves it Dives reaches out this is a quick review the only thing Kane Grice hasn't done tonight is returned those lost sunglasses and there's still time [Music] Clemson had the bases loaded nobody out in the 10th failed to score Tennessee had a runner at third one out in the 11th failed to score listen to this place in a minute [Music] Angel Campos is the crew chief Clemson fans absolutely despised into Replay in the 10th they love it in the 11th chance to win it for the Tigers it's to relax Tennessee's got a new catcher Charlie Taylor takes over behind the plate Chase Burns still out there on the mound Jacob Gerald at the plate for Clemson how much longer can Burns go well this is Arden longest outing he's had a bullpen this year and 79 against Arkansas in his first relief appearance [Music] [Applause] and I feel like that was almost a start essentially he's built up being a starter he was built up for it I thought he was done last inning then he came back and made a bunch of huge pitches now he's clearly still has that one that slider just missed [Applause] [Music] here's the 2-2 to Gerald swinging a mission to slider eight strikeouts out of the bullpen for Chase Burns and back to the top of the lineup the ACC freshman of the Year cam canarella The Freshman Gerald with another slider right here but now this lineup turns over in canarella taking some pretty good swings against Burns tonight it's doubled each of the two times he's seen him and he helped Chase dolander with a three-run home run 96 the juice is back canarella was sitting on slider last time swung over the top of one the next one he got is the bully shot to right center for the double see if he approach is the same this time the 1-0 still got 98 in the bag I'd love to be tired like Chase Burns is tired this is to find it after it looked like it was gone and it looked like he was out of stuff this shows you a ton about this kid overcooked that one two and one [Music] [Applause] [Music] did he go did not according to Alberto Ruiz he balls in one strike to camp canarella [Music] [Applause] [Music] swing and a miss got a sword Full Count so last time he was sitting slider 3-1 he was sitting fastball that time he was going to sell out for a fastball didn't get it now finds himself in a 3-2 count so once you get here I think he gets a slider [Music] he does and he sends that one back to the screen [Music] Chase Burns last year was part of a star-studded rotation for Tennessee that had volunteers the number one team in the country just about all season long in the bullpen now and that's the walk and a back Spike for canarella and a winning run is on board we got one rally cap but not two one down only by Taylor says let's calm it [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is Cooper Engel [Applause] [Music] Engel is one for four tonight his single game way back in the first inning when the sun was still Shining [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] canarella does not have a big lead to talk about his speed and we've already seen it on display tonight 24 of 28 on the year in stolen bases Charlie Taylor is the new catcher has thrown out four of 28. [Applause] [Music] Tennessee has had action in the bullpen now recently and there's no doubt Seth Halverson is ready to go he's in watch mode now roller to the right side Moore's only plays it first two down canarellan scoring position I've heard the vagabus this often since my senior year float trip is that what you said [Music] what are you doing in July you know what they are done it a little bit jealous there's Will Taylor he's one for four thank you Taylor struck out to end the ninth inning with two on [Music] Burns also struck him out in the seventh 2-0 Missouri transfer Seth Halverson [Music] [Applause] [Music] Burns 95 pitches in [Applause] [Applause] taking all the way Taylor looks at a strike Will Taylor knows how to get on base fourth in the ACC and on base percentage he's drawn 46 walks this year [Applause] canarella the winning run at second and there's Ball Four to Taylor and guess who's coming up Kanan Grace [Applause] started the game on the mound made a game-saving play to end the 11th and he's got two hits to his name at the plate he's in high 99 pitches pitches for burns seven off of his career and Tony vitello is going to turn it over to the bullpen again kid pitched his guts out tonight when it looked like he was done he stayed around kept this one tighty in time entire time he was in there and Tennessee goes back to the bullpen and the velocity just stays Halverson a guy that can show you 98.99 [Music] all right Burns puts together an incredible outing eight strikeouts but now turns it over to Halverson [Music] Seth Halverson was a starter at the University of Missouri transferred in conference to Tennessee hard throwing right-handers 6-2 225 foreign appearance 21 of those that come out of the bullpen this year for Halverson 44 strikeouts and 42 and two thirds fastball that averages about 96 miles an hour over the course of the year he'll face the left-handed Kate and Grice here to start primarily fastball Change-Up this year to lefties [Music] 44 strikeouts against 13 walks [Music] Grace has two hits tonight drove in a run with the double in the fifth he leads Clemson and two out RBI this game has had its share of heroes or near Heroes canarella's game tying double in the ninth Tony vitello watch Zane Denton hit a go ahead home run into Tennessee half of the ninth Mariana with a double play Turn Eric bakkage saw his team failed to score with the bases loaded and nobody out in the 10th [Music] Halverson throwing through in the SEC tournament against Texas A M got the start in that one a Tuesday game after they finish the regular season on a Saturday he struck out six over four innings Two on Two Out here's Kate and Grice [Music] nothing in one [Music] [Applause] the 0-1 the entire crowd gassed well with a change up there nothing in tune will Grace see a fastball in the zone not intentionally right now no if so it's a mistake [Applause] and now the O2 Taylor set off set up off the plate that was a 98 mile an hour fastball never wanted to catch the plate [Music] canarella drilled one out walk he's at second [Music] [Applause] kyola check what's weights on deck and that is important for a variety of reasons the first is he does not have a Collegiate bat he's been a pitcher the last three years who started taking BP two months ago zero Collegiate Bass one two to Grace if you're Tennessee why you just put Grace on there's a lot going on right now I don't know if anybody saw it I don't know ultimately if you put the winning run on third base ball gets the backstop you get beat but that's that's one that you probably didn't have written into The Scouting Report tonight remember that's a picture spot that's due up after Grice stayed in the game 2-2 pitch swinging Halverson got the best player to strike out with two aboard [Applause] never saw a fastball First Strike couldn't find a Breaking Ball still tied through 11. ninth inning with two outs Christian Moore and Blake Burch single to the same Denton did this over the grandstand Clemson answered a couple of doubles in the ninth inning first Blake writed in the Freshman camp canarella and that tied it up and since then missed opportunities for both sides and a first pitch strike to start the 12th to Maui ahuna ahuna helped turn a 4-6-3 double play in the 10th inning that kept Clemson's winning run from scoring the flare handled by Blackwell to retire his counterpart one down [Music] [Music] here's Hunter Ensley just one for his last 18. Hitler's tonight [Music] [Applause] 1-0 and fouled off fifth inning and Carl Gables Texas leads Miami 4-1 into right field Cooper Engel two down [Music] and Troy trying to take control and Tuscaloosa the Trojans lead Alabama two nothing in the third inning foreign [Music] ESPN Plus in the app you can follow along on Squeeze Play here's Jared Dickey hard hit off the Buckle of right recovers to throw a strike and one two three frame worked by Tristan Smith another chance for Clemson to win it as we go to the bottom of the 12. watch every game Ty olanchek will get a chance to hit this is uh Uncharted Territory this is this is momentous I don't remember ever seeing this dial and Chuck's been on campus three years he was part of the starting rotation a few years ago he does not have a Collegiate bat could not lead it off for Clemson here in the 12th choke up and try to just punch it the other way for his first legal than that pretty good take on the breaking ball too dude's been around night's getting better 1-1 from Seth Halverson and he launches it into Ensley catches up to it I mean it's just been that kind of night right why not he didn't want to stop running I was not sure so you don't get to stay on base this is beautiful we haven't been out here in a while I just kind of want to keep going this entire day not just game this entire day has been bananas Texas Tech the three seed in Gainesville upset Florida tonight but Raiders won that one five to four [Applause] Penn is leading Samford three nothing in the fifth Riley Bertram looks at a strike [Music] pulls a foul nothing until I got a feeling they're going to get a little bit loose on the squeeze Place set tonight back to back 12-hour days and Berkey promised he'd wear a Buckethead you know stuff's going sideways when that happens [Music] if they need any more accessories we got an extra pair of sunglasses one two to Bertram [Applause] [Music] Washington is looking to take control in Stillwater the Huskies lead Oral Roberts 8-1 in the third 2-2 Bertram pops it up Collective grown from the home crowd ahuna two down [Music] thank you [Applause] here's Blake Wright doubled and scored in the night to tie the game [Music] swinging a Miss on the slider [Music] a one into center field ends lead both offenses go quietly in the 12th quick work for Smith on one side and Halverson to the other to the lucky 13. seven early so start it because there's more action in the Clemson pen behind him for Weiss and been out there a lot this year just nine innings but he's been really slider heavy this is when Advantage shifts to Tennessee because of the depth of that pitching staff Halverson out there he can go deep he's 98 with a Wipeout slider and they'll just roll arm after arm after our matching Griffin Merritt leads off and he tips the first one into the catcher's mitt over five nights from Merritt [Music] [Applause] [Music] at the state of college baseball you bring a guy in in the postseason let's throw nine innings the whole year the first pitch is 94 with that slider arms are pretty good these days yeah [Music] [Applause] to short diving stop Blackwell couldn't find it and then delivered a strike Merritt asks for another look [Applause] does Tennessee have any left I don't know if they do this one may need to be initiated by the umpires which it can be I think it should be no doubt I thought the merits right foot hit the bag just before and they will look at it again the Blackwell got there plenty of time you can see he just didn't quite get a handle on it came right out of the end of his glove he's safe foreign but he is safe this is why we haven't I know sometimes people don't like the weight and the weight's gotten quicker it's not as bad as it was but we're having to make sure we get it right this time getting it right is going to mean that's Griffin Merritt standing on First Base so vitala happened to rely on the crew to take another look at this and that's the one loophole in the game you can just say hey I don't have any challenges left but you guys want to take a look that was really close it's a tie game and Extras and you would think they would do it anyway I mean you would hope to come together especially when at that close Michael Banks a first base umpire I would think that Griffin Merritt's going to be standing on first base with nobody out now you got the middle of this Tennessee order coming right behind him we've had a little bit of everything in this thing had a lot of everything twice faces one batter and Nick Clayton who threw yesterday for Clemson was already hot in the Tigers Bullpen and they'll turn it over to him now Clayton threw 51 pitches yesterday [Music] [Music] 's night is done after his one batter face ahead another reliever throw just one pitch tonight winner goes again tomorrow night loser turns around for a noon start [Applause] hours [Music] Clayton is the eighth pitcher of the game for Clemson Tennessee they've seen a few different looks today Clayton goes out there and you see the height you think you're going to see somebody come right over the top it's exactly the opposite it's a lower three-quarter action and really lives on the sink and relies on the ground ball very different look than they've seen so far tonight [Music] he's a 3-1 ground ball to Fly ball pitcher 8-0 now with a 3-2-3 era after getting the win out of the bullpen yesterday oh 15-3 in his career his career winning percentage is top 10 in Clemson history and he's gentle but everything for him was a reliever first two years and a weekend starter first half of last year for going into the bullpen and then dropped his arm slot this off season that slot you're usually going to be in in this spot right now and ideally if you're Clemson you want that hard ground ball right at somebody see if you get two outs with one pitch [Music] [Music] [Music] and your lefties that are probably best fit for this look for Tennessee neither one of them are available Blake Burke is out of the game Dylan dreiling's already pinched in [Music] battello back to the dugout [Music] thank you plate from York South Carolina [Applause] probably so have this game on in the hoof and Barrel right now [Music] gonna have a pitch run over at first for Tennessee Austin Jazz love Jazz love break s for second on and hit Gerald right in the left that is Well Done Right There Jazz up just in the game and he's in there for one reason he's in their first feet ultimately it's a backup slider that the Freshman Gerald can't really get the meat of the glove on spits away good read by jazla to end up on second base I want to know to Christian Moore [Applause] you know as cleanly as this game has been played no errors for either side the later it gets the more you feel like a mistake is going to decide this thing yeah I think that's fair everybody's been out there for a long time and and that pass ball could be something to lose large 3-0 and then for more I think you I think you've probably taken one here if anything you've got to see it up Clayton is trying to work the bottom part of the zone and when he gets ahead below the bottom part of the Zone that's where he's missed with all three so far it's a strike three and one [Music] [Applause] [Music] did he go he did and the cow goes full [Applause] that's what Clayton wants he wants it to start look like a strike and by the time it gets home it is not I don't know about that one here's the payoff there's Ball Four Tennessee with two on nobody out in the 13th inning rating side not only throughout the volunteer state tonight but in Oklahoma City The Lady Vols are completing and competing in the Women's College World Series they got Oklahoma State tomorrow night at Seven Eastern they're watching on their phones or back in the hotel right after dinner tonight Lady Vols launched to Oklahoma earlier today Ethan Payne came on to lay down a sacrifice but in the 11th [Applause] he squares early quarters crashing in and he takes ball one they have Blackwell filling in behind right to cover third [Music] [Applause] [Music] Gerald through the sides thank you bunt of the Third Base Line only plays at first campaign advances Jazz love to Third and right behind him more to second is two perfect sack bumps from Ethan Payne tonight came in for Blake Burke to run at one point didn't stay in the game at first base he did not have a sack bun the entire season coming into this game now the last two times he's been on he's been asked to do just that laid it down in a perfect spot no chance to get the lead runners now Zane Deton has already gone deep twice tonight will be automatically put on first if you joined us late Denton gave Tennessee some life with a seventh inning home run to make it a two-run game in the go-ahead shot in the ninth so Jazz love the runner at third more at second and Denton at first [Applause] Mrs Christian Scott at the plate almost got him in the knee [Music] [Applause] [Music] to the right side chance for two Blackwell four six three double play [Applause] every time an offense is threatened the other side has closed the deal what else did you think would happen Clemson with a chance to now win in the 13th after the 4-6-3 double play well if there wasn't enough drama between the teams now the men in blue have gotten involved in Eric bakkage is furious about it here's what happened keep an eye after the double play pitching coach Jimmy Bellinger comes out of the Clemson dugout [Music] and we haven't received official word but watch the right side of your screen there's Ballinger comes out to celebrate with his pitcher and tell me what the problem is throw them out I haven't we have not received official word but they had a long talk with Eric bakkerch between innings he didn't go across the line he came out he was fired up for his own guy he didn't say anything to anybody else on the other side I this this is going too far it just it is going way too far if we got a motion going the other way and there's talk taunting and stuff like that okay I get it that's the time to jump in but not there nobody else is going to say a word about that and it shouldn't okay now we're told that we're not sure it was Bellinger that came out and there's no official word that anybody had been ejected but backache was not pleased with it bottom of the 13th and Benjamin Blackwell at the play [Music] Blackwell pops it up Payne to The Dugout and it's out of the roof [Music] [Applause] free baseball and a free baseball [Music] [Applause] ball [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 2-1 to Blackwell Christian Scott racing towards the line and makes a catch a step into foul territory one down [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Gerald with a slow roller to third Denton another play on the run two down fishing 12th for Halverson so far it's been a very thirteenth quickouts shallow Fly ball to right field now roll over ground ball the same Denton does a great job charging solid transfer and that's two quick outs here in the 13th they're going to pinch hit for camp catarella must be hurt yep [Music] oh him [Music] can't arrest the one that got tossed is what I'm understanding oh how's it even possible oh that is this is gone straight ridiculous there's camp canarella he's still in the dugout [Music] you don't have to leave if you've been ejected [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well if that's the case then our film wasn't canarella coming on the field because he was in center but regardless they have to turn to Nathan Hall will try to get some clarification 13 Innings complete nothing decided except that this game is bananas well we think we figured out what happened Nathan Hall is now in center field we're going to show you Cam canarella running off the field after that double play to end the 13th inning and canarella coming off the field keep your eye on the center fielder for Clemson there's a double play into the Tennessee threat and with Zane detting at second base canarella apparently has words for him Angel Campos sees looks over his shoulder the second base umpire is also the crew chief more chirping continued Campos didn't like it and said well he's got to leave the game you cannot do that not for that I mean these kids have played 13 Innings again like you want to take a motion totally out of this game that's how you're going to do it if they're going back and forth a little bit they're both going their own way so be it but there's no there's zero zero way that you can throw a kid out for doing that and neither one of them and I don't know what was said but they're going the other way guys we're not face to face we're not initiating anything they're fired up they're running off the field that's this has got to stop I I tell you what you're right on track and if there's any indication of how unimportant the exchange was nobody from Tennessee even reacted to it Denton was walking away he I mean he very well may have said something too I'm sure that he did but hey as long as people have competed that's happened there's nothing wrong with that I blame the guys who write the rule book get so worried about it [Music] here's Charlie Taylor's First plate appearance Casey Talent is a new pitcher for Clemson they just took out one of the best and most impactful players in this game cam canarello had a three-run home run in the fifth doubles in the seventh in a game tying shot in the ninth talents from this down the street in Hartwell Georgia and he's getting a chance here now [Music] as the eighth reliever for Clemson [Applause] one and two [Applause] does that ejection come with a suspension the rules are consistent during the year that's a game that that makes it even even worse [Applause] one two pitch is there anything that could have happened there or could have been said that would have Justified an objection no not the way that it was done there's no chance listen if your nose to nose was somebody and you're about to go at it that's totally different that what wouldn't it he was fired up running off the field he said something Denton probably turn around said something back to him they went their own way go play the game let them play the game Bertram called off and Engel handles it one down back to the top of the order and Mali ahuna you know [Music] it's one way to suck the life and excitement out of it that's for sure we want fans to be engaged we want kids to show emotion and to your point I mean it's it's a reaction based on rules that were written over the last few years they've gone too far there's a time when somebody deserves to be thrown out that wasn't even close [Music] 2-0 [Applause] and without getting out of soapbox you can make a case that the rules that were put in were an overreaction to not issues Tennessee was the leader in the clubhouse celebrating talking smack there were no bench clearing balls there were no fights maybe there were some feelings hurt each other all the time I mean it hadn't happened and you could make a case of Tony vitello's team last year number one for most of the Season upset in the supers they played with a black hat on all year they were good for college baseball they brought attention to college baseball that hadn't been in this sport in some time especially during the regular season absolutely and the powers that be got scared here's the 2-2 from Talent Full Count [Applause] way back in the bottom of the 10th Mario turn to 4-6-3 double play that kept this game going Clemson would have had the winning run Crossing had the double playoff in turn out one [Music] [Applause] Hunter Ensley is over six in this one breaking ball waved at nothing in one [Applause] [Music] Ensley sends a sharply hit drive into the Gap in right center a hold of the third they're going to wave him home and she's standing at second base to throw home it's late and Tennessee reclaims the lead in the 14.
