Baseball Team Completes Simulated Weekend Series

---

CLEMSON, SC - The Orange took two of three games from the Purple as

the Clemson baseball team completed its preseason preparations for

the 2002 season with an intrasquad series this weekend. The Tigers

will open the season Feb. 22 at 3:00 PM against Auburn.

Game one on Friday was a defensive affair highlighted by B.J.

LaMura's one-hit performance over six innings as the Orange defeated

the Purple 4-0. Jarrod Schmidt homered and David Slevin had two hits

to lead the victors. Khalil Greene hit two home runs and Collin

Mahoney drove in three runs to lead the Orange to a 10-8 victory in

11 innings in game two. Ryan Childs yielded one run in six innings

and Kyle Frank went 2-4 with a home run and four RBIs to lead the

Sunday's game three saw a barrage of long balls on a blustery

afternoon in Doug Kingsmore Stadium. Jeff Baker, Chad Coder, Ryan

Klosterman, Robert Valiente, Slevin and Schmidt all blasted home runs

in another offensive battle. The Purple scored two runs in the top of

the ninth and Paul Harrelson closed the game to give the Purple a

10-9 victory. Coder and Greene led the Orange with four RBIs a piece

for the series while Frank and Baker drove in five RBIs each for the
