Clemson Regional
* Tennessee 6, Clemson 5, 14 innings - Tennessee pushed across a run in the 14th inning to snap Clemson's 17-game winning streak and send the Tigers into the elimination bracket. Clemson had a 4-2 lead with none on and two out in the ninth, only to have the Vols rally. Zane Denton hit a three-run homer for a 5-4 lead.
Clemson (44-18) tied the score in the bottom of the ninth. Both teams missed bases-loaded opportunities in extra innings before the Vols pushed across the winner.
Caden Grice struck out 10 in 8 2/3 innings. Cam Cannarella was 3-for-5 and drove in four runs, but was curiously, was ejected after what may have been a verbal exchange between hi and a Tennessee baserunner after a Clemson double play to blunt a UT rally.
Clemson plays Charlotte at noon Sunday, needing a win to stay alive. Tennessee meets the winner of the noon game at 6 p.m. A win by the Clemson-Charlotte winner Sunday night would force another game on Monday.
