COLUMBIA — While Aidan Knaak is considered the ace of the Clemson pitching staff, it’s Michael Sharman who has been by far the Tigers’ best starting pitcher over the first three weeks of the season.
After Clemson suffered a 7-0 demoralizing defeat at the hands of the Gamecocks on Friday night, the Tigers needed Sharman to deliver on Saturday, and that is exactly what the redshirt senior did.
In his first taste of the rivalry, Sharman pitched his first career complete game, scattering four hits and holding South Carolina to just one run, while striking out four and not walking a batter.
