* NCAA Division I: No. 2 Clemson (35-7, 13-5) responded to go-ahead runs by Louisville in the ninth and 10th innings to keep the game going, but couldn't match Tague Davis' two-run homer in the 12th, allowing the Cardinals (28-11, 10-8) to salvage the ACC series finale ...

Ole Miss (28-12, 10-8) scored six runs before an out was recorded en route to run-ruling South Carolina (23-18, 4-14) in the finale of an SEC series. Austin Fawley's first-inning grand slam was retrieved by his mother behind the Ole Miss bullpen ...

USC Upstate (21-19) rallied from nine runs down after 2 1/2 innings and used an eight-run eighth to beat UNC Greensboro (18-21) and take the rubber game of the nonconference series. Max Kaplan shut out UNCG from the fourth through eighth innings to give Up a chance to rally ... Northeastern (29-9, 12-2) shut out College of Charleston (22-15, 7-7) for the second straight day to clinch a Coastal Athletic Association series win ...

Rhogue Wallace led off the game with a home run for the second straight day and added a single and a homer for the Blue Hose ... Western Carolina (19-20, 4-8) scored in six of eight inning to run-rule Wofford (24-17, 3-9) in the rubber game of their SoCon series.

Claflin's Elijah Bonner pitched a complete game and held the Bearcats to four hits in Game 2 ... Cooper McDaniel scored the game's only run on a fifth-inning passed ball and three pitchers combined for a shutout as USC Beaufort (9-33, 5-19) salvaged the last game of its series at Flagler (28-16, 12-12) ... North Georgia (33-12, 21-3) stayed atop the conference standings with an extra-inning win over USC Aiken (18-26, 8-16).

Davis Turner hit a two-run homer and a grand slam against Wingate (23-22, 14-13) in Game 2 to assure Limestone (22-23, 13-14) of at least one more win before the program is perhaps shut down over the school's financial crisis.
