Clemson shortstop Logan Davidson had two doubles and a three-run home run to lead the Tigers to a 10-2 victory over Gardner-Webb Saturday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.
Associate head coach Bradley LeCroy coached the Tigers on Saturday as head coach Monte Lee served a one-game suspension from the actions that took place at the end of last week’s win at Georgia Tech.
Davidson led the Tigers (28-18) with a 3-for-5 day at the plate. The junior also drove in runs, while Kyle Wilkie, who had two hits, also drove in two runs with his launch in the bottom of the first inning that got the scoring started.
Davis Sharpe, who helped his own cause on the mound, drove in a run as well. Sam Hall, Justin Hawkins, Bryce Teodosio and Chad Fairey also drove in a run.
Clemson finished the game with 13 hits overall. Bryar Hawkins was 2-for-4 at the plate. Wilkie was 2-for-5.
Sharpe improved to 6-3 on the mound, allowing two earned runs on three hits, while striking out six batters in 5 2/3 innings of work. He was 1-for-2 at the plate with an RBI and a walk. He also scored a run.
Clemson broke the game open in the bottom of the fifth inning by plating seven runs to extend its lead to 9-0. The Tigers had six hits in the inning, highlighted by Davidson’s three-run bomb.
Hawkins, Teodosio, Sharpe and Sam Hall all drove in a run during the decisive inning.
The Tigers travel to Gardner-Webb on Sunday for a 2 p.m., first pitch in Shelby, N.C.
