“I gave everything I had out
there,” Heck said. “I was throw
ing my best stuff. I tried my best,
unfortunately, I ran out of gas at
the end. They just did a good job
of hitting the ball. ”
Clemson head coach Jack
Leggett said he had no reserva
tions pitching Heck the day after
his longest outing of the year.
“He (Heck) said before the
game that he felt good throwing
two innings for us,” Leggett said.
“The first inning he was in, he did
a good job for us. They just hap
pened to get a couple of big hits.”
The Aggies were in position to
win the game in the ninth because
of good pitching and great defense.
Senior pitcher Matt Ward started
off the game and pitched well.
He did not allow a run for the
first five innings and was helped
out by a school record four double
plays, none bigger than the one he
received in the bottom of the sixth
inning.
The Tigers finally broke
through as Nathan Boyd double
scored Bradley LeCroy in the sixth
to make it a 2-1 game.
With one out and runners on
second and third, second baseman
Kurt Bultmann lifted a fly ball to
right field.
With the runner from third tag
ging up, sophomore right fielder
Daylan Holt fired a shot to home
plate that arrived before the run
ner at home, ending the inning for
Ward and killing the Tiger threat.
“The first thing that came to my
mind was get it and throw the
heck out of it,” Holt said. “Ljust
wanted to make sure I didn’t one
hop Schu (Aggie catcher Shawn
Schumacher). I gave it all I had.”
Senior first baseman John
Scheschuk said when the ball left
the bat, he knew that Holt was go
ing to make the play at home.
“I expect that from Daylan,”
Scheschuk said. “When that ball
went up and I saw where it was
going to land, I said to myself, ‘He
better throw him out.’ I knew he
would because he’s got a great
arm and he comes up clutch just
like everyone else on this team.”

bottom of the seventh when the
Tigers once again had runners on
first and second with one out.
The Aggies called on junior ace
Casey Fossum to get them out of
the jam. After striking out the first
batter he faced, Clemson hit two
straight singles to take the lead 4-
3. Fossum struck out designated
hitter Henri Stanley to end the in
ning.
Although he relinquished the
lead for the Aggies, Fossum said
he was not worried about the
teams’ ability to come from be
hind.
“We’ve come back in a lot of
big ball games this year,” Fossum
said. “I knew if I held them, the
way this team does and what
we’ve shown the whole season, 1
knew that we could come back.”
Fossum (12-6) came back out
and had a relatively easy eighth in
ning, intentionally walking a bat
ter and striking out the side.
Fossum said after the eighth in
ning he was fatigued, but the
events of the top of the ninth gave
him the strength to close out the
game.
“I wasn’t sure if I could go out
there and pitch another inning,”
Fossum said. “But after those two
home runs it was like an adrena
line shot and at that point I knew
1 could go out there and finish the
game out.”
Fossum then went out in the
ninth and shut the Tigers down.
He struck out Boyd swinging to
end the game, prompting a wild
celebration at the pitcher’s
mound.
For the Aggies, it will be the
fourth trip to the College World Se
ries in school history and the first
since 1993.
Scheschuk, who played his fi
nal home game at A&M, said the
road to Omaha was a tough one
but one that was well worth it.
“It’s so hard to get there,”
Scheschuk said. “It’s the toughest
thing I’ve ever had to do smc£ I’ve
been playing sports. I wanted it
bad. It’s not an opportunity you
get that often. I knew I had to
make the most of it. It’s just amaz
ing that I get to go out this way.”
