Weather forces change to Clemson baseball schedule for this weekend

Clemson’s three-game series with Hartford scheduled for this weekend will now be played in only two days.

The two teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m., Clemson announced Friday afternoon. The change is due to expected bad weather coming into the area on Sunday.

Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader is scheduled for 1 p.m. There will be a 60-minute break between the two games. Both games will be nine innings.

The two teams begin Game 1 of their three-game series on Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Mack Anglin gets the start for the Tigers in Game 1 and will face off against Tim Blaisdell. Clemson is going with Nick Clayton on the mound in Game 2 and Nick Hoffman for Game 3.

Clemson enters the series a perfect 4-0 after sweeping Indiana last weekend and taking a midweek game over College of Charleston on Tuesday.

Hartford has yet to play this season.

The Tigers are averaging 8.8 runs per game, and the pitching staff has an impressive 2.19 ERA. Clemson’s bullpen has been incredible, posting a 0.78 ERA.
