Myrtle Beach: Wild Open

By Doug Kroll - June 03, 2007

We've only played one inning, but this is a wild one. With rain falling once again, Coastal got a run in the top of the first with the help of three singles, including David Sappelt setting the all-time school record for career hits. But then the Tigers' bats came alive in the bottom half like we haven't seen in a while. Four runs and five hits later, Clemson has a 4-1 lead after one. Nothing was hit that hard, but everything found holes. Chalk reached on an error and scored, Wilson Boyd singled and scored, Marquez Smith recorded the first out on a Sac Bunt, Andy D'Alessio hit a 2 run double and scored, Taylor Harbin singled and scored, Doug Hogan had an RBI single, Ben paulsen flew out, Addison Johnson had an RBI double, before J.D. Burgess ended the inning with a groundout to short. When it was all over, Coastal pitcher John Mariotti had thrown 27 pitches. This one's gonna be just as wild as advertised.
