The Wofford Terriers roll into Doug Kingsmore Tuesday evening, winners of 3 straight.

Both teams come in having been battle tested.
RHP Travis Marr(0-0 8.10 ERA) will get his first career start for Clemson. He will be looking to rebound from his last outing. Coming on in relief of Sam Weatherly last week vs Winthrop, the redshirt freshman was not very sharp. He didn’t even manage to get through a full inning, finishing with a line of .2IP 6H 3ER 0BB 1K.

Add to that .429 with RISP, and you get one hot start to the season. The Terriers come in hitting .251 as a team and are led by Mack Nathanson. He’s hitting .389, with 3 HR 11 RBI, and has 6 SB to go along with that. Another Terrier to keep an eye on is McClain Bradley. He is hitting .349 with 3HR and 11RBI.
