MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. — It’s been a long road back to the pitcher’s mound for Noah Samol, but the redshirt junior is finally fully healthy and carving out a role for himself with the Tigers.
The 6-foot-7 southpaw has put together back-to-back impressive outings in midweek action, culminating in a career-high 3.2 innings in the 3-1 win over College Charleston, which also included a career-high six strikeouts.
After another solid start from freshman Dylan Harrison, Samol came out of the bullpen to start the fifth, with Clemson leading 3-1. Over the next three-plus innings, the Cougars managed just three hits, while Samol did not issue any walks.
