LIVE Game Thread: Clemson vs Wake Forest Game 2

[Jason Priester]

All Clemson is LIVE at DKS as the Tigers are set to host No. 2 Wake Forest for Game 2 of a three-game ACC series.

The Deacs took the opener last night 8-3 and Clemson will send freshman Joe Allen to the mound as Erik Bakich's team looks to even up the series at one game each.

Allen will be making his second career start and has an ERA of 3.63. His first start came on the road at Kennesaw State last week, where he went six innings, scattering six hits and allowing two runs.

Wake counters with lefty Sean Sullivan, who comes in with an eye-popping 1.76 ERA. Opponents are hitting just .124 against him and he has struck out 58 hitters in 30.2 innings of work.

Wake picks up right where they left off in Game 1. After Allen gets the leadoff hitter Tommy Hawke on a deep fly ball to center, Lucas Costello launches a solo shot that was way out of here to LF.

Nick Kurtz then singles and advances to second on a wild pitch.

Allen strikes out tow of the next three hitters to get out of the inning with no further damage.

Allen walks Marek Houston and runners are on the corners, one down. Top of the lineup coming back up already.

Action in the Clemson pen already

Allen walks Hawke and they are loaded for Costello, who has already hit one out today.

And here comes Erik Bakich so Allen's stint will be a very short one, as he is only able to get one out in the second.

Nick Clayton coming outta the pen. Big spot right here.
