Clemson scored its first run in the third. With two outs, Brad Chalk doubled down the right-field line followed by Taylor Harbin's RBI double, plating Chalk and putting the Tigers ahead 1-0.

Clemson found the scoring column again in the eighth inning. Harbin hit his second double of the game, followed by D'Alessio's RBI single that plated Harbin. After D'Alessio advanced to third on a passed ball, Marquez Smith hit a double to left field, plating D'Alessio. Paulsen was hit by a pitch and Burg walked to load the bases. D.J. Mitchell hit into a fielder's choice to third base, scoring Smith and putting the Tigers up 4-0.
