Player of the day: Vance Sheahan, USC Upstate, 4-5, BB, 3 HR 4 R, 7 RBI .

* Clemson 13, Pitt 6 - Collin Priest homered and drove in five runs as the Tigers (41-15, 18-12) completed an ACC series sweep of the Panthers (27-26, 10-20). Jack Crighton had four hits and was 8-for-8 over three games until he struck out in his final at-bat. His three doubles matched the school single-game record. Cam Cannarella had three hits as he extended his hitting streak to 15 games. The Tigers earned the fifth seed for the conference tournament and will play their first game on Wednesday.

* Charleston Southern 14, Gardner-Webb 4, 8 innings - Kaden Smith hit a school-record five doubles as the Buccaneers (28-20, 14-10) clinched a Big South Conference series win over Gardner-Webb (17-35, 6-18). Aidan McAskie and A.J Martin added two doubles apiece. Former Erskine star Dale Francis Jr. homered for the Bulldogs.

* Coastal Carolina 12, Old Dominion 1, 7 innings - The Chanticleers (44-11, 26-4) completed their sixth straight three-game sweep in Sun Belt Conference play and won their 14th consecutive game overall with a run-rule win over the Monarchs (21-29, 15-15). Ty Barrango drove in four runs - three on a home run - and Sebastian Alexander and Blake Barthol also went deep for Coastal, which clinched the regular-season championship earlier in the series.

* East Tennessee State 11, The Citadel 2 - The Buccaneers (37-16, 14-7) scored six runs in the ninth inning to salt away the game against the Bulldogs (30-24, 12-9) and clinch the SoCon's regular-season championship. Garrett Dill had an RBI single for The Citadel.

* Hofstra 16, College of Charleston 15 - The Cougars (34-20, 15-12) scored seven runs in the eighth to tie the game, but the Pride's (18-36, 8-19) Sean Lane homered in the ninth to snap the College's nine-game winning streak.  Landon Penfield's grand slam - his second homer of the game - capped the eighth-inning comeback.

* LSU 7, South Carolina 3 - Daniel Dickinson's two-run homer in the fifth inning gave the No. 1 Tigers (42-13, 19-11) the lead and they held on to take the rubber game of the SEC series with the Gamecocks (28-28, 6-24), who tied the program record for losses in a season. Beau Hollins and Henry Kaczmar homered for Carolina.

* USC Upstate 14, UNC Asheville 9 - Vance Sheahan homered a school-record three times and drove in seven runs as the Spartans (33-23, 19-5) clinched the school's first Big South Conference regular-season championship and the top seed for the conference tournament seed by completing a sweep of the Bulldogs (13-35, 8-16). Sheahan's grand slam was Upstate's sixth this season. He has reached base in 43 consecutive games. The game was moved from Asheville to Marion, N.C., because of weather-related issues. 

* Winthrop 15, High Point 5, 7 innings - The Eagles (29-27, 13-11) erupted for 12 runs in the fifth to deny the Panthers (38-17, 18-6) a share of the Big South Conference regular-season title. Alan Benhardt drove in five runs and Koby Kropf had four hits and four RBI for Winthrop, which had seven batters hit by pitches.

Thomas Powell's two-run double highlighted a three-run first inning for the Trailblazers (45-15) and Josh Williams added a two-run homer in the eighth.

* North Greenville 5, Lander 2 - Earlier in the day, Tristan Salinas and Jake Sears had two-run homers as the Trailblazers eliminated the Bearcats (43-15). Connor Droze doubled and homered for Lander.
