Duke uses 10-run 7th inning to come back to defeat #6 Clemson, 15-10
CLEMSON, S.C. (Clemson SID) – Duke scored 10 runs in the seventh inning to defeat No. 6 Clemson 15-10 at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Devils, who evened the series 1-1, improved to 34-16 overall and 15-11 in the ACC. The Tigers fell to 38-14 overall and 15-11 in ACC play. AJ Gracia hit a towering solo homer in the top of the first inning, then Josh Paino answered with a long three-run homer, his 10th of the year, in the bottom of the first inning. The Tigers added three more runs in the frame, capped by Andrew Ciufo's two-out, run-scoring single. Macon Winslow belted a solo homer in the second inning, then Gracia led off the third inning with a long home run, his second of the game. The Blue Devils added a run in the frame on Ben Rounds' two-out single to narrow Clemson's lead to 6-4. Rounds cut Clemson's lead in half when he led off the fifth inning with a homer. Duke took advantage of an error on a potential inning-ending double play grounder to score 10 unearned runs on four hits in the top of the seventh inning, including the go-ahead runs on Jake Hyde's two-out single, as nine of the 10 runs came with two outs. Cam Cannarella extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a two-out single in the bottom of the seventh inning, then Jack Crighton followed with a bases-loaded walk. The Tigers added two more runs in the frame on an error. Reid Easterly (8-1) earned the win, while Jacob McGovern (3-1) suffered the loss. The series concludes Sunday at 1 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.
