CLEMSON — Things could not have gone much better for the Clemson pitching staff in this weekend’s sweep of Army. In fact, the arms made a little history this weekend, doing something that’s not been done in well over two decades.
In the three-game weekend sweep, Tiger pitchers allowed just two runs (one earned) across 26 innings of work. Both of those came in Friday’s 3-2 season-opening win, with Clemson getting back-to-back shutouts in the doubleheader on Saturday.
The Tigers have not shut out a team in both games of a doubleheader in 25 years.
“Testament to our pitching staff,” head coach Erik Bakich said.
