Evans, Hogan Garner ACC Honors

May 19, 2003

Clemson’s Garrick Evans and Patrick Hogan were named this week’s Atlantic Coast Conference Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, after leading the Tigers to three conference victories.

Evans, a designated hitter from Burke, Va., hit .562 (9-for-16) with six RBI over the week, including a 6-for-8 performance in two starts as the leadoff hitter versus Wake Forest. The sophomore hit four doubles, a triple and walked four times for a .833 on-base percentage against the Deacons.

Hogan, a right handed pitcher, entered the game at Wake Forest the day after the series opener was suspended and pitched the final 6.0 innings without allowing a run. The junior out of Columbia, S.C., came in the game with Clemson trailing 2-1 and allowed only five hits and no runs against the Deacs to earn the 6-2 victory.
