Opening Day for the 2008 baseball season was Saturday, and the 13th ranked Tigers got off to a great start. Playing a double-header against Mercer because of a rain out on Friday, the Tigers won the first game 12-5. The second game of the day was much closer with Clemson edging out Mercer 6-5. The Tigers finished the series on Sunday by defeating Mercer for the third time 10-3.
I was not sure if Clemson was going to be very successful this year after losing several key players to the MLB last year. There are a lot of new players that are getting substantial playing time, and they proved they could play this weekend. I am looking forward to seeing how much better this team will get as the season continues.
Baseball has always been a love of mine, and I really enjoy going to the games. Saturday was a picture perfect day for baseball. The weather was great which makes watching the game much more enjoyable. There is nothing like going to a baseball game on a Saturday afternoon in Clemson, SC, and I am excited about the year to come for Clemson Baseball.
