Wilson hit a long fly ball to center field and Cannarella chased it down and made an incredible overhead catch to get the final out and end the inning.
Clemson head coach Eric Bakich was ejected in the top of the 13th inning after Alden Matthes gave Clemson the lead with a solo home run. Broadcasts initially suggested that this was because Matthes had spiked his bat in front of the dugout after the home run. Reports said Matthes had been warned about spiking the bat, and the Tigers bench was visibly upset.
Bakić pumped up the crowd as he left the field.
