Game of the day
Clemson and Elon went 13 innings before the Tigers left Doug Kingsmore Stadium with a 1-0 victory. Three Tigers pitchers struck out 23 and walked none. Seth Beer, who just missed hitting a pair of home runs earlier in the game, lashed a bases-loaded single to end the game. Beer has reached base in 65 consecutive games dating to last season. Of the 67 games he has played for the Tigers, he failed to reach base only in his second career game.
