No Hitter!

Former Gaffney player Justin Sarratt started for Clemson tonight and along with 4 other pitchers we no-hit USCS 14-0.

He threw 4 1/3 no-hit innings against Michigan State last week in his start against them.

Five Clemson pitchers, including Gaffney’s Justin Sarratt and Chapman’s Kyle Deese, combined to no-hit USC Upstate 14-0 on Wednesday night in Clemson.

Sarratt (3-0) started and threw five no-hit innings. He was followed by Scott Weismann, Deese, Tomas Cruz and Matt Vaughn, who each threw an inning apiece.

Chapman’s Deese was making his Clemson debut.

Clemson pitchers allowed just one walk and struck out seven Spartans. The Tigers (12-4) had an error in the first.

It’s the 14th no-hitter in Clemson history and the first since Scott Parrish threw a seven-inning 6-0 no-hitter against The Citadel on March 6, 1984.

Second baseman Mike Freeman had a big night at the plate for the Tigers, going 4-for-5 with a three-run home run and seven total RBIs.
