Beer’s homer lifts Tigers in 10th

Seth Beer hit a two-out solo home run in the 10th inning to give Clemson a 3-2 win and a sweep of the series over Boston College at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Sunday.

The Tigers (16-3, 5-1 ACC) trailed 2-0 before Eli White belted a solo home run, his first of the year, in the seventh inning. Chris Williams delivered the game-tying RBI single with one out in the ninth inning to bring home pinch-runner K.J. Bryant.

Beer, who extended his hitting streak to 17 games, belted a pitch over the right-field fence for the win. It was Beer’s ninth home run of the season.

Alex Bostic earned the win, pitching 1 2/3 scoreless innings of one-hit ball with three strikeouts. Tiger starter Alex Eubanks pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and no walks with 10 strikeouts. Jacob Stevens took the loss for Boston College (12-6, 2-4), giving up six hits, one run and no walks with three strikeouts.

Clemson hosts Presbyterian College on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
