WACO, Texas (AP) – Stan Widmann hit a two-run single in the seventh to help Clemson beat Baylor 4-2 in the opening game of the NCAA Super Regional on Saturday.

In the seventh, Clemson (43-21) loaded the bases with no outs against Baylor (42-22) starter Trey Taylor (7-6).

Kris Harvey and Travis Storrer singled, and Andy D’Alessio reached when Zach Dillon threw late to third on D’Alessio’s bunt.
