CWS: The comeback Cats

By Mark Etheridge - June 16, 2006

Should we really be surprised?

After two comeback wins over Oral Roberts last week, Clemson has poured on eight runs in the inning for a 8-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth. Andy D'Alessio slammed a three-run shot to give the Tigers the lead.

Georgia Tech is now on their fifth pitcher of the inning.

I don't think it showed it on TV, but as the players rallied around home plate to greet D'Alessio, the ESPN cameraman tried to get a tight celebration shot. As he crept closer to the mob, a player bumped his camera sending him sprawling to the ground. The jubilant Tiger players were very helpful in lifting he and his camera upright.
