CLEMSON— Just when you thought Clemson couldn’t top a seven-run comeback on Saturday, it bettered that by two runs on Sunday.

The third-ranked Tigers fell behind by nine runs behind Florida State, then roared back for a 14-12 victory and a sweep of the Seminoles in an ACC series at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.

Down 11-2 in the sixth, Clemson (22-2, 5-1 ACC) scored five runs in the sixth, then took advantage of FSU wildness to plate six in the seventh. The key blow was Blake Wright’s grand slam to give Clemson the lead.

It was his second grand slam of the weekend – he hit one in Game 2 on Saturday – and his ninth home run in the last ten games.
