CONWAY, S.C. (Interstat) — Clemson visits Coastal Carolina on Tuesday in a midweek nonconference clash at Springs Brooks Stadium, with both teams aiming to build momentum as conference play intensifies.

The Tigers (28-20) face the Chanticleers (33-14) at 6 p.m. First-pitch weather is forecast at 72 degrees and clear.

Clemson is coming off a 4-3 home win Sunday over Boston College, a series victory after dropping the opener. Second baseman Jarren Purify keyed the win, going 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. Over his past seven games, Purify has hit safely in two contests but has managed only one hit in his other five appearances. He is a player to watch for the Tigers.

Coastal Carolina enters after a 7-4 loss Sunday at Georgia Southern. Reliever Daniel Parker threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings in that game, allowing no hits with one strikeout. Over his past three outings, Parker has tossed 4 2/3 innings, surrendering one earned run on one hit with four strikeouts. He remains a key arm out of the bullpen for the Chanticleers.

Tuesday’s game is the second meeting between the teams this season. Coastal Carolina won the first matchup, 11-9, at Clemson on March 24.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 7-4 Coastal Carolina victory.
