The Diamond Dawgs completed a two game sweep of the Clemson Tigers last night with a 6-4 victory in th road portion of the schools' home and home series. The Dawgs pulled out the important win on the back of first basemen Rich Poythress and centerfielder Adam Fuller--both with home runs.
Yours truly made the trip to Clemson for the game and we were surprisingly impressed with the gametime atmosphere. We definitely recommend a visit if you haven't ever made it to a game at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. The tailgate atmosphere outside is a sight to behold and the fans were generally welcoming. That comes of course with the exception of a few drunk old rednecks who questioned the size of our bank accounts. They also made fun of us for getting a degree soon. Oh and apparently every road in Georgia is dirt. Whatever.
Anyway, Josh Fields was throwing heat in the 9th to seal the deal. He continues to impress. The Dawgs needed those two games to boost their confidence for the 3-game home stand this weekend. Clemson was a great team, but South Carolina should be much better. Had the Dawgs dropped one to Clemson, they would be facing a lot of pressure this weekend.
