The Tigers improved to 46-14, while the Eagles fell to 37-25. The 46 wins are Clemson's most since totaling 53 in 2006.

Ryley Gilliam (3-3) pitched 0.2 scoreless innings to earn the win, while Cory Conway (8-4) suffered the loss. Five Tiger pitchers combined to limit Morehead State, who entered the game second in the nation in runs per game (8.5) and fourth in batting average (.317), to only six hits and three runs (one earned) in 10.0 innings pitched.

The Tigers, who set a school record with their 15th one-run victory of the season, play Vanderbilt in the winners' bracket on Saturday at 7 p.m., on ESPN3. Clemson is the designated visiting team.
