Fresh arm shuts down 49ers |
CLEMSON — When Clemson pitching coach Kyle Bunn made his way to the bullpen prior to Saturday’s second game of a three-game series with Charlotte, he did not know what to expect from freshman pitcher Chris Dwyer.Bunn admitted he was a little anxious to see if the freshman could duplicate what he has done in practice since arriving at Clemson in August. After watching the lefty’s warm-up session, he reported to coach Jack Leggett that there was no reason for concern.“I told Jack, ‘I don’t know if this means anything because I don’t know what he is going to do when the game gets started, but he didn’t throw a ball in the bullpen,’” Bunn said.Dwyer did not throw very many in the game either. In fact, his Tiger debut was one of the more memorable ones in recent history. He allowed two hits, struck out nine with walked one in No. 19 Clemson’s 4-0 victory.“For a first-time guy to ever step on Tiger Field, that’s pretty good,” Bunn said.
