Notes:

Clemson went 1-2 at Auburn from March 4-6, as the team now has a 5-4 record. The Tigers lost a heartbreaker in game one 6-5 and then loss Saturday 8-4, but came back strong to trounce the SEC Tigers 14-3 in the series finale. The hitters' ballpark (extremely fast infield and wind blowing out most of the series) saw Clemson total 44 hits in the three games and hit .352. Clemson also committed just one error and had a .991 fielding percentage. Tyler Colvin was spectacular in the series, going 8-for-12, including a 5-for-5 performance in game one. Travis Storrer was 7-for-15, and Taylor Harbin had five hits, including two more doubles to raise his season total to eight in nine games. Clemson hit five homers on the weekend, including two by Andy D'Alessio in game three. The middle-infield-freshman combination of Harbin and Stan Widmann went errorless in a combined 35 chances in the field as well.

On the season, Clemson is hitting .289 with a superb .978 fielding percentage. Colvin is leading the team with a .423 average, while Harbin is hitting .395. Herman Demmink (.321), Storrer (.303), and Widmann (.300) are all hitting .300 or better against solid competition. Kris Harvey and D'Alessio are tied for the team lead with 10 RBIs apiece. Clemson's ERA stands at 4.38, including a team-best 2.76 ERA by Josh Cribb. He has struck out 16 and walked only two in 2005.
