Clemson stays alive with win over Tennessee Tech

CLEMSON — Freshman right-hander Scott Weismann threw eight sterling innings Sunday, and top-seeded Clemson beat Tennessee Tech 10-0 in an NCAA tournament elimination game.
Ben Paulsen and Chris Epps homered for the Tigers (42-20), the host team of the Clemson regional. Epps also had three of the Tigers’ 14 hits.
The Tigers will face Oklahoma State tonight at 7 p.m. Clemson must beat the Cowboys twice to advance to next week’s Super Regionals.
Paulsen’s two-run homer capped a four-run third inning. Clemson added three runs in the fourth to take an 8-0 lead and knock Tech starter Chason Choate (1-2) from the game.
Tech (31-24-1), which took a one-run lead into the ninth inning of an opening-round loss to the Tigers, managed only four hits off Weismann.
