He had at least two hits in each of the four games, including a homer at No. 17 Georgia on Tuesday. He went 7-for-14 with a homer, two doubles and five RBIs in the three-game series at Louisville. In Clemson’s 12-11 victory on Friday after trailing 11-4, he hit the go-ahead, run-scoring single in the ninth inning to propel the Tigers to victory. He added a homer, two doubles and three RBIs in Sunday’s victory.
