Clemson: D'Alessio's blunder costly

By Chris Lee - June 10, 2006

With a man on first and no out, Oral Roberts' Tim Torres hit a ball to Clemson first baseman Andy D'Alessio that should have been an easy double play with D'Alessio standing no more than six feet from the bag.

Instead, D'Alessio somehow had the slow roller skip off his glove and into right, giving ORU men at first and second with no out, and then Clemson pitcher Stephen Faris walked #3 hitter Jake Kahaulelio. Faris struck out hot-hitting Chad Rothford, but Andy Bouchie's fly to shallow left-center scored a run and Torres took third on the back end. Torres then scored on Kelly Minissale's single to right.

2-0 ORU, as we've just started the second. Clemson's the visitor in this one.
