CHARLESTON, S.C. – College of Charleston heads to SEGRA Park in Columbia for a neutral site battle with Clemson for a second-straight season and third time in series history. Charleston won 7-5 last season as Jared Kirven drove home a career-best 4 RBI in the comeback effort.
 
Clemson won the initial meeting in 2023 by a 4-3 margin just two weeks ago at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, S.C. The Tigers scored three runs in the eighth to get past Charleston after trailing most of the day.
 
Charleston enters Tuesday's matchup fresh off a home sweep of Towson in CAA action winning all three games by one run with the first two of the weekend going extra innings (11 Friday, 17 Saturday). With those three wins, Charleston moved to 8-2 in one-run games in 2023 with their only losses coming in 4-3 fashion to Clemson and Appalachian State on the road.
 
The Tigers enter Tuesday's tilt fresh off a Sunday win at Georgia Tech but dropped the series to the Yellow Jackets. Clemson is 3-5 away from home this season (0-2 in neutral contests) while the Cougars are 2-3 on the road and play their first neutral site game Tuesday.
 
Scouting the Tigers
  • Clemson enters the Tuesday matchup off a series loss on the road to rival Georgia Tech but took the Sunday game. Cooper Ingle and Blake Wright both had three-hit days in the Tigers' 14-5 win Sunday while Grice Caden drove home 5 runs and earned the win tossing 5 innings of one-run ball.
  • Cam Cannarella still paces the Clemson offense with a .418 batting average and a team-high nine doubles. Four Tigers total are batting above .333 on the season including Cannarella, Will Taylor, Bejnamin Blackwell and Cooper Ingle.
  • Austin Gordon has tossed the most innings for the Clemson pitching staff accumulating 30.2 frames of work. Ten pitchers have worked at least 10 innings for Clemson this season but only three have gone 20-plus innings.
  • Ingle, Tayor and Blackwell paced the Clemson offense with two hits each in the first meeting with Ingle's two-run single in the eighth being the difference in the ballgame.
