In a display of sheer power hitting, Blake Wright etched his name into the Clemson baseball record books on Wednesday night. The junior outfielder launched three awe-inspiring home runs to lead the No. 3 ranked Tigers to an 11-1 demolition of the Presbyterian Blue Hose at Fluor Field in Greenville, South Carolina.
Wright’s historic performance saw him join elite company as the 17th player in Clemson history to hit three homers in a single game, tying the prestigious school record.
In a dramatic escalation of the conference realignment saga, Clemson University has taken the bold step of filing a lawsuit against the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). This legal maneuver aims to challenge the ACC’s grip on its member institutions, specifically targeting the hefty exit fees and the conference’s claim over media rights.
The lawsuit, filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Pickens County, South Carolina, strikes at the heart of the ACC’s measures designed to discourage member schools from departing.
The Clemson Tigers have been making waves on and off the court, with several standout players earning well-deserved recognition for their exceptional performances during the 2022-23 season. On the men’s basketball front, PJ Hall’s dominant play was rewarded with a spot on the prestigious All-ACC First Team, solidifying his status as one of the conference’s elite talents.
Hall, a junior forward, received the second-highest number of votes behind North Carolina’s RJ Davis, who was named the ACC Player of the Year.
