CLEMSON BASEBALL

Baseball Downs Georgia Southern 9-2


by -

CLEMSON, SC - Khalil Greene went 3-4 with five RBIs, including a

grand slam, to lead Clemson to a 9-2 victory over Georgia Southern

Wednesday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. Clemson (12-0) remained

undefeated on the season while taking two games from Georgia Southern

(12-7).

Clemson opened the scoring with five runs in the second inning.

Jarrod Schmidt led off the inning with a double and was followed by

walks by Collin Mahoney and L.J. DeMaino. Schmidt scored on Kyle

Frank's RBI and all other runners held to load the bases for Greene.

The senior shortstop responded with a towering shot to center field

that cleared the bases.

The Tigers extended the lead in the fourth inning. With runners on

second and third, Greene came through again with a base hit that

plated DeMaino. Next batter Jeff Baker cranked a 1-1 pitch deep to

center field for his third home run of the year that pushed the

Clemson lead to 9-0.

Georgia Southern scored its first run in the fifth inning off of

Clemson starter Steve Reba. Reba (4-0) picked up the win by pitching

five innings, allowing one run and six hits while striking out four.

B.J. LaMura and Patrick Hogan combined for three scoreless innings of

middle relief. Georgia Southern picked up a run in the ninth off of

Tyler Lumsden, but never posed a serious threat. Brian Harrison

(0-2), one of seven pitchers used by the Eagles, picked up the loss.

Greene finished with a home run, double and a single to pace the

offense. In hitting the grand slam, Greene picked up his 200th career

RBI. He leads Clemson with a .551 batting average, including a .607

average with runners on base.

Clemson will take on South Alabama this Friday at 7:15 in the first

of three games. Matt Henrie (2-0) is expected to take the hill for

the Tigers on Friday.
