Beau on Last night, the Tiger baseball team rallied to beat Oklahoma State by a score of 6-5. A turn around for Kyle Parker might be in the works as he came out the hero of the game. Parker, who has been in an atrocious slump as of late, singled for two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to put the Tiger’s ahead for good.
A few notes on the game:
- Many pundits and loudmouths said that the Cowboys shouldn’t have even been at a regional but I think they proved last night that they deserved to be there. I for one am glad we beat them in the way that we did because it makes us look a hell of a lot better than the things people have been saying about us as a team.
- Good to see the return of the orange smoke and cheap champagne baths via the Cheap Seats bus. Check out our Twitter for some hazy, poorly taken pictures from the action last night.
- Kyle Parker was 14 of 79 before last night’s clutch hit.
- Clemson will now head to Tempe, Arizona to play Arizona State for the Super Regional playoff. Check out our schedule here for up to date standings, news recaps, and future games.
- To make things perfect, the Gamecocks lost to ECU in their regional by a score of 10-9 after leading all game. The State apologizes for it here and makes Gamecock fans think that this was just some fluke.
“But the Gamecocks, who lost in the Raleigh Regional to N.C. State last season, refused to let this latest heart-breaking loss ruin the way they felt about their season. The Pirates had never defeated USC in seven postsea-… ZzZzZzzZzZZz…….ZZZzZzZzzZzZzZz…….”

What a turnaround from last year. Kudos to Leggett in the midst of all the criticism and losing his house to do this.

I am very happy for Parker, his multiple Strike-outs and defensive mistakes this season were very worrisome, but maybe last night was the jolt he needed to be the clutch player he was last year. Pitching was great this weekend, and although we lost saturday we never gave up more than last nights 5 runs a game, that’s damn impressive considering the shotty pitching we’ve had all year. I’m very proud of the pitching staff and the clutch at bats by people like Schaus, Freeman, Paulsen, Johnson, and especially Epps, who took big benched most of the season in stride and really ran with it this past series. All in all I am very surprised we pull this one out, and we played two very very talented teams that were underestimated coming into this series I believe. OSU is a great team, and we proved last night we are better, and I hope we can ride that momentum into Tempe against the Sun Devils.
