With one out in the frame, Richardson yanked a 1-2 pitch deep over the wall in right-center for his first long ball of the season. This gave KSU a 3-0 advantage after its first two at-bats.

Clemson chipped back with two runs in the second to cut the deficit to one. Blake Wright led off the frame with a solo shot before a passed ball plated the second Tiger run.

KSU added two more runs in the third courtesy of a two-run homer from Hanson. Brayden Eidson led off the frame with a hit-by-pitch and advanced to second on a stolen base.
