Clemson HR record correction


Mar 16, 2018, 1:02 PM

The statement that Byrd tied a home run record at Clemson is incorrect. Mac Ogburn (from my dear old high school, Dreher) back in the early 1960's, I believe, hit 4 in one game establishing an NCAA record which stood for decades (I am not sure if it was ever broken but was tied about 10 years ago (I think).

How could Tim miss on this one? !

"Ogburn Shines
This past weekend proved to be one that will not be
forgotten for quite some time. The occasion was the
Clemson Georgia Tech Freshman baseball game. A
Clemson outfielder named Mac Ogburn broke loose on
a hitting spree that has never been equalled here at
Tigertown. In the first game of the double headeer, Mac
went four for four with a single, two triples, and one
homer. This was to be only the start for Mac in the hit'
ting department. In the second game the almost unbelievable
happened—Mac went five for five—they were
all home runs. He faced five different pitchers in the
two games, so the element of luck is almost zero. Mac
collected a total of 19 RBI's and 31 total bases"

Ogburn hit his at the old place where the tennis courts are now.

Shoot. No wonder he hit five in one game. A baseball stadium the size of tennis courts.... ;)
