Scott Weismann goes five innings to earn win in Clemson opener

Clemson, ranked as high as #4 in the nation, opened the 2011 season with 16 hits and 10 walks en route to a 14-3 victory over Eastern Michigan in front of 6,138 fans at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Friday afternoon. It was the season-opener for both teams and the first meeting between the two since 1976.

The Tigers took a 4-0 lead in the first inning, but a three-run homer by Robert Wendzicki in the second inning cut Clemson’s lead to 4-3. But the Tigers scored three runs in the third, fourth, and seventh innings to pull away for the win.

Clemson mum on pitching plans for today

Scott Weismann will turn a five run lead over to the bullpen today

Scott Weismann will turn a five run lead over to the bullpen today

It is still unclear who will be on the mound for Clemson when the Tigers resume their game with Oklahoma this afternoon.   Clemson will have a 6-1 lead with Oklahoma batting in the top of the sixth when play resumes at 4:30.

Scott Weismann started on the mound last night and pitched five innings.  He allowed three hits and the one earned run in that span.  It seems highly unlikely that he would return to the mound today. 

Clemson baseball media relations director Brian Hennessy issued the following response when asked about the Tigers potential pitching plans:

“We only announce starting pitchers before a game, ” Hennessy told SCRN via email.  “Weismann is pitching for us right now until someone (if anyone) relieves him at some point.”

There is some word trickling out of Omaha that Jack Leggett could turn to Will Lamb to finish the game.  The sophomore lefty is 4-4 with a 4.93 ERA this season.

John Hinson opened the frame with his 13th homer of the center, a shot that carried over the right centerfield wall.  One out later, Wilson Boyd doubled to right and was replaced with pinch runner Addison Johnson.  Spencer Kieboom drew a walk and when the pitch went to the backstop, Johnson took third.  Will Lamb then singled to right off reliever Cody Schlagel who replaced starter Scott Copeland.  Mike Freeman walked to load the bases, and then Jeff Schaus ripped a single to right that scored two.  And he later scored on a two out signle by Brad Miller.

That was more than enough offense for Tiger starter Scott Weismann.  He pitched seven complete innings allowing just the one run and four hits while striking out six.  He was lifted after a half hour lightening delay after the seventh inning.  Scott Firth and Josh Thrailkill finished up.  Weismann improves to 7-2. 

Lamb also homered for the Tigers in the 5th, part of a three for three day for him.  He also walked once.  The Tigers had 12 hits off of three Golden Eagle pitchers.  The Tigers were also flawless in the field going error free for the the second straight game.

The Tigers will start Scott Weismann on the mound against Southern Miss.  The sophomore righthander is 6-2 with a 5.47 ERA.  He is coming off a rough outing against Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament in which he lasted just three innings and allowed six runs.  But he was sharp in his start before that allowing just three runs in 6.1 innings in a win over Florida State.

Southern Miss will start senior righthander Seth Copeland.  He is 11-0 and won two games in the Conference USA Tournament, where he was named the tournament MVP.

Mike Freeman

Brad Miller will be  the starter at shortstop  for Clemson Friday.  He was pulled late in the season and used as the DH because of defensive issues, but he was back in the field for the last two gamesof the ACC Tournament.  But Leggett is undecided about his starting catcher because of the recent performance of Spencer Kieboom.  He or John Nester will start.  And the starting centerfielder will be either Wilson Boyd or Addison Johnson.
