CLEMSON, S.C. – The Tigers and Coastal Carolina split two seven-inning scrimmages at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Chanticleers won the first scrimmage 5-2, then the Tigers were victorious in the second scrimmage 6-4.

In the second scrimmage, Byrd hit a run-scoring single in the first inning and a three-run homer in the sixth inning.

The Chanticleers responded with two runs in the top of the seventh inning, then Davidson crushed a solo long ball in the bottom of the seventh inning.
