Michael Robertson played the hero for the Gators. He was 2-for-6 with two RBI. Jac Caglianone, Brody Donay and Ashton Wilson each had home runs for the Gators as well.
But it wasn’t for lack of trying. The Tigers’ season was put into the glove of center fielder Cam Cannarella.
Clemson was tied 9-9 with the Florida Gators in the bottom of the 10th inning. The Gators had runners on second and first and Wilson at the plate.

Wilson hit a long fly ball toward dead center field. Cannarella tracked it and made an unbelievable over-the-head catch for the final out to end the inning.
Clemson head coach Erik Bakich was ejected from the game in the top of the 13th after Clemson pulled ahead on Alden Mathes solo home run. The broadcast initially thought it was because Mathes spiked his bat in front of his dugout on the home run. Mathes was reportedly warned about the bat spike, which apparently upset the Tigers’ bench.
Bakich fired up the crowd on his way out.
