DURHAM, NC - Thomas Brittle went 4-for-6 with a triple, double, five RBIs, and three runs to lead Clemson’s 15-hit attack in its 11-5 win over Duke Saturday afternoon. The Tigers improved to 17-14 overall and 7-7 in the ACC. The Blue Devils fell to 13-19 overall and 5-9 in ACC play.

Starter Dominic Leone (5-2) earned the victory by striking out nine in 6 1/3 innings pitched. He gave up nine hits, four runs, and two walks, but worked out of several jams.
