COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Clemson center fielder Henri Stanley smacked a two-out, two-run double in the top of the eighth inning, propelling Clemson (11-8, 1-0 ACC) to an 8-6 come-from-behind win over Maryland (4-8-1, 0-1 ACC) Friday at Shipley Field.

The Terps scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a 6-5 lead. Maryland took advantage of two Clemson wild pitches and an error in that inning to bounce back from a 5-1 deficit. The Tigers, however, came back with three runs in the top of the eighth, including Stanley's clutch hit, to pull out the win.

For Maryland, senior outfielder Eric Beer (New City, N.Y.), sophomore first baseman Chuck Easter (Baltimore, Md.) and junior second baseman Jason Mohap (Ashland, Pa.) each had two hits. Beer also knocked in a pair of runs.

The two teams will continue their series tomorrow at Shipley Field at 2 p.m.
