"They've had a monster year and just have a lot of power hitters and 5-6 guys with double-digit homers and are coming off a dogpile," Bakich said of the Spartans. "We know they're feeling really good and confident and hot. We have a lot of respect for them, their program. Their program's always been good, but they certainly have been playing with some extra juice this year." Even so, this year's Clemson team seems more than capable of taking the next step in Year 3 under Bakich. That would mean reaching the College World Series in Omaha after the Tigers made their first Super Regional appearance in 14 years a season ago.

Purify hits HR to power #9 Clemson past Pitt, 11-2
PITTSBURGH (Clemson SID) – No. 9 Clemson scored in five of the first six innings in its 11-2 victory over Pittsburgh at Charles L. Cost Field on Friday afternoon. The Tigers, who took a 2-0 lead in the series, improved to 40-15 overall and 17-12 in the ACC. The Panthers fell to 27-25 overall and 10-19 in ACC play. Cam Cannarella extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a leadoff single in the first inning and scored on Collin Priest's sacrifice fly. Jack Crighton scored on a wild pitch in the second inning, then Cannarella flared a two-out single to score a run. Jarren Purify followed with a two-run homer, his sixth of the year. The Tigers added two runs in the third inning, capped by TP Wentworth's two-out, run-scoring double, to build a 7-0 lead. Ryan Zuckerman belted a two-run homer in the fourth inning to put Pittsburgh on the scoreboard, then Wentworth responded with a two-run single in the fifth inning. In the sixth inning, back-to-back doubles by Josh Paino and Dominic Listi scored a run, then Listi scored on a wild pitch. Tiger starter Drew Titsworth (5-1) earned the win by tying his career-long outing with 6.0 innings pitched. He allowed five hits, two runs and two walks with four strikeouts. Jacob McGovern pitched 3.0 innings to record his first career save. Panther starter Kyle Demi (0-3) suffered the loss, as he yielded five runs on five hits in 1.2 innings pitched.

National outlet names Clemson hurler Pitcher of the Week
National outlet names Clemson hurler Pitcher of the Week Drew Titsworth turned in a memorable first career start for the Clemson Tigers on Friday night. The sophomore right-hander threw six shutout innings in the Tigers' 2-1 win over Louisville, holding the Cardinals to three hits. He allowed no walks and struck out three batters. Titsworth's first start came after 13 appearances in relief this season and 19 in his freshman season in 2024. "Obviously, Drew Titsworth should get all the headlines, being his first career start and going six scoreless against a really good offensive team," Clemson coach Erik Bakich said. On Monday, he did. Titsworth was named ACC Pitcher of the Week by D1 Baseball (subscription required). Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney was named the outlet's ACC Player of the Week. In 14 games this season, Titsworth is 4-0 with a 2.86 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 28 1/3 innings. He has 32 strikeouts to seven walks. Opponents are batting .214 off the Frankenmuth, Mich., native. Clemson rose to No. 2 in the major Top 25 rankings Monday, including the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. The Tigers host the No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs in a top 10 matchup Tuesday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium beginning at 8 p.m. ET. The game can be seen on ESPNU.

Clemson baseball takeaways as Tigers earn latest Top 25 series win vs Louisville
Clemson baseball takeaways as Tigers earn latest Top 25 series win vs Louisville The Clemson Tigers got six strong innings from pitcher Drew Titsworth in his first career college start and secured a series-clinching victory over Louisville with a 2-1 win Friday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. Clemson, ranked No. 2 by Perfect Game and No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, won its 35th game to improve to 35-6 overall and 13-4 in the ACC. Louisville, ranked No. 19 in the Coaches Poll, fell to 27-11 overall and 9-8 in conference play Here's how the Tigers put together their 35th win of the 2025 college baseball season Friday. Clemson catcher Jacob Jarrell stays hot Clemson took its first lead on a no-doubt home run to left by catcher Jacob Jarrell leading off the fifth inning against Louisville starter Ethan Eberle. It was Jarrell's 10th home run of the season and his sixth in the past eight games. Jarrell is the first Tigers player to reach double digits in home runs this season. He has eight home runs over his last 13 games. Reliever steps up big in starter's shoes for Clemson The big story of the day was Drew Titsworth, the sophomore right-hander making his first career start after 13 appearances in relief this season. He pitched as well as coach Erik Bakich or anyone could have asked, tossing six shutout frames and holding an offense that ranked second in the ACC in batting average to three hits. Titsworth (4-0) struck out three without allowing a walk and threw 87 pitches, 59 strikes. He retired 18 of 21 batters faced before turning the game over to Clemson's bullpen in the seventh inning. Titsworth got some help behind him when Reed Garris tossed a 1-2-3 eighth inning on just eight pitches to lower his ERA to 0.83 in 13 appearances (21 2/3 innings). Lucas Mahlstedt picked up his 14th save despite allowing a two-out home run to Louisville third baseman and cleanup hitter Jake Munroe. Mahlstedt struck out Eddie King Jr. for the game's final out. Clemson held Louisville to five hits and outhit the Cardinals, 6-5. Luke Gaffney continues swinging hot bat for Clemson The transfer first baseman hit an opposite-field double to the base of the wall in right with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning to score Josh Paino from first base and extend Clemson's lead to 2-0. Gaffney picked up two hits in a 2-for-3 day at the plate. In the series' first two games, the 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year at Purdue has four hits in seven at-bats. Bottom line The Tigers are the only ACC team that hasn't lost a weekend series all season. That's going to be challenged with tough road trips to NC State (25-12) and No. 8 Florida State (29-7) on the horizon. In the meantime, Clemson can go for the sweep of Louisville in Saturday's series finale. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
