Clemson and USC open conference tournament play this afternoon. The Tigers will face Notre Dame at 500 in the ACC Tournament in Charlotte with Michael Sharman on the mound. USC will take on Tennessee at 530 in the SEC Tournament in Hoover with Brandon Stone the starter. Both tournaments are single elimination.
The Vols will be without one of their leading hitters in Reese Chapman. He was hit in the face by a line drive in practice on Monday and was taken to the hospital for evaluation. Chapman is hitting .316 with 10 homers and 44 RBIs.
Clemson catcher Jacob Jarrell was a second-team selection, and DH Nate Savoie was a third-team pick on the All-ACC team. The Tigers’ Brendon Bennett and Danny Nelson also earned All-ACC Freshman honors.
Javier Sanoja hit his first career grand slam, Joe Mack drove in four runs, and the Marlins shut out the MLB-leading Braves 12-0 on Monday night.
After the first round of the NCAA Men’s Golf regionals, the College of Charleston is 7th in Athens, Clemson is tied for 8th in Arizona, and USC is tied for 9th in Columbus, OH.
