Tuesday's top five college baseball matchup between the No. 2 Clemson Tigers and No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs didn't disappoint.
Not if you're a Clemson fan. The Tigers jumped on Georgia starter Charlie Goldstein early, and Clemson pitching held the nation's leader in home runs scoreless in a 3-0 shutout victory in midweek play Tuesday night at Doug Kingsmore stadium.
The Tigers (36-7 overall) took advantage of Goldstein (0-2) hitting Dominic Listi with a pitch to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Clemson scored the game's first run on a two-out RBI double down the right field line by Collin Priest for a 1-0 lead.
When Listi batted again in the second inning, he tripled off the glove of Devin Obee in deep center to score Luke Gaffney for a 2-0 lead.
The Tigers wouldn't score again until two outs in the seventh inning. Cam Cannarella went the opposite way with his 12th double of the season, finding the gap in left-center and scoring Andrew Ciufo from first to make it 3-0.
Clemson's pitching reigned supreme on this night. Five Clemson hurlers -- starter Talan Bell and relievers Jacob McGovern, TP Wentworth, Reed Garris and Lucas Mahlstedt -- combined to hold Georgia (33-10) to three hits on the night.
In the ninth, Mahlstedt struck out Tre Phelps, retired Kolby Branch on a groundout, and got pinch hitter Brennan Hudson on strikes for his program-tying 15th save in 18 appearances this season. Mahlstedt tied Nick Glaser's 2000 mark for most saves and lowered his ERA to 1.08 in 33 1/3 innings this season. The right-hander's 15 saves lead NCAA baseball. McGovern (3-0) got the win in relief.
The Tigers outhit the Bulldogs, 7-3, and allowed just seven Georgia batters to reach base. Clemson was 4-of-10 at the plate with two outs. The Tigers improved to 12-1 in midweek games.
Clemson will head to Raleigh to face No. 25 NC State (27-12 overall, 12-6 ACC) for a three-game series beginning Thursday night. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on ACC Network.
