Cam Cannarella has given the Tigers new life, putting Clemson in front with a wacky inside-the-park home run.
An inning filled with rain and a slippery Mike Martin Field, Jack Crighton got the party started with a single up the middle. Joey Volini struck out Jacob Jarrell, but Jay Dillard responded with a double down the line to put runners on second and third.
Volini struck out Andrew Ciufo, but that’s when Cannarella flipped the contest on its head. The junior smashed a triple to center field wall, and with his speed, slid into third safely. But the play wasn’t over just yet, as FSU’s relay throw scampered past third base and to Florida State’s dugout.
Cannarella took off for home while Volini chased down the loose baseball, and before the center fielder could reach home plate, he tripped just inches away from the base. The Seminoles had Cannarella dead to rights, but with Volini’s bad throw to Nathan Cmeyla at the plate, Cannarella collected himself and scored.
Cam delivers at the plate!!!@CamCannarella ties the score with a two-out, two-run triple, then scores on an error on the play to give the Tigers the lead!!
