Nike React Sale Nz . -- Clemson enjoyed every
bit of its highest-scoring game in seven years.Avry Holmes scored 22 points,
Jaron Blossomgame added 17 and Clemson defeated Davidson 95-78 on Thursday in
the opening game of the Tire Pros Invitational.It was Clemsons best point total
since scoring 102 against Winthrop on Nov. 23, 2009. Gabe DeVoe added 16 for the
Tigers (2-0), who shot 52 percent.I think we have a good team, Tigers coach Brad
Brownell said. I think we have more balance than weve had in several years. ...
Because of that, I think were a little tougher matchup and that was evident
today by five guys in double figures.Donte Grantham and Sidy Djitte each scored
12 for the Tigers.Peyton Aldridge scored 22 points for Davidson (1-1), which
went 11 for 40 from 3-point range. Jack Gibbs, who was sixth nationally in
scoring at 23.7 points per game last season, scored 18 for the Wildcats.Gibbs
didnt play in Davidsons opener because of a shoulder issue, and wore a
protective sleeve on his left shoulder Thursday.I dont feel limited, Gibbs said.
I just have to go out there, be a leader and do a better job of getting our team
to do the things we do in practice. If it doesnt start with me and Peyton,
theres no one else on the team thats going to start it.Davidson started off hot
from 3-point range, making 6 of its first 10. But the Wildcats missed their next
16 from beyond the arc, and fell into a double-digit-sized hole that they
couldnt escape the rest of the way.You start out making 3s, all of a sudden its
like a poison because now you think you can make 3s, Davidson coach Bob McKillop
said. The nature of our team is to go inside-out, but the demon of making those
early 3s hung around our heads quite a bit.BIG PICTUREClemson: Grantham is now
one shy of 100 3-pointers for his Clemson career, after making two on Thursday.
... Clemson got hit with a first-half technical because Legend Robertin was in
the scorebook as wearing No. 0 -- he wears No. 00, and the penalty for that is
whats called an administrative technical.Davidson: The Wildcats grabbed 20
offensive rebounds. ... Backup forward Nathan Ekwu played about 7 minutes,
scored no points, took no shots -- and fouled out for the 15th time in his
career.PROTECT THE BALLClemson isnt giving opponents any extra help so far this
season.The Tigers have 16 turnovers, total, through the first two games -- and
their opponents, Georgia and now Davidson, have turned those into only 11
points. Clemson had a 21-4 edge in points off turnovers Thursday, that 17-point
margin also being the difference in the final score.UP NEXTClemson: No. 11
Xavier, which edged Missouri 83-82 in OT, in the semifinals Friday.Davidson:

League action. DETROIT -- For most of the Boston Red Sox, Sunday was a day to
forget.It wasnt a great success -- they lost 10-5 to the Detroit Tigers -- but
rookie Andrew Benintendi is going to remember it for a long time.Benintendi
struck out in his last at-bat Friday night, then went 0 for 3 with three whiffs
on Saturday. When Justin Verlander got him again in the third inning on Sunday,
he knew he needed to fix something.When you strike out five straight times, you
have time to think about how the pitchers are attacking you, he said. I thought
I had a pretty good idea what I should be expecting.Benintendi led off the sixth
inning with a triple off Verlander, the first of his career.Then in the seventh,
Benintendi connected for his first home run, a drive off Shane Greene.That was
pretty cool, especially because my family was here to see it, he said. I wasnt
sure it was going to get out until I saw J.D. (Martinez) give up on it. After
that, I just wanted to run fast enough to avoid any trouble. You cant jog on
your first one.John Farrell thought the two big hits were one of Bostons few
bright spots.Its always good to see a kid hit his first homer, because it gets
that off their mind, Farrell said. We know this is a young man with a lot of
talent, and hes going to keep hitting.Benintendi didnt have a chance of keeping
up with Justin Upton, though.Upton broke out of a slump with a pair of three-run
homers.This was a good day, he said. Its my brothers birthday, Mom and Dad are
here and my wife and kid are here, Upton said.The Tigers won for just the fourth
time in 14 games, and went 2-5 on their stay at Comerica Park. Boston has lost
just two of its last 10.Martinez had a pair of doubles for the Tigers.Verlander
(13-7) allowed one run on three hits inn six innings before being pulled with a
nine-run lead.
Nike React Discount Nz. He is 6-1 in his last
10 starts.Henry Owens (0-1) didnt find out he was pitching until late Saturday
night and didnt arrive in Detroit from Triple-A until the early morning hours.
He gave up eight runs on six hits and five walks in five innings.Eduardo
Rodriguez was expected to return from a hamstring injury to pitch, but felt
discomfort during Saturdays game, so Owens was summoned from Pawtucket.The Red
Sox scored four times off Greene in the seventh, including Benintendis two-run
homer.In his last scheduled game in Detroit, David Ortiz hit a 111-mph drive
down the right-field line in the first. Instead of settling for his usual
single, he took second on Martinez, leading to a joking exchange between the Red
Sox star and Verlander after the inning.Weve had a lot of battles, Verlander
said. That was just one of them.Ortiz batted for the final time in the eighth
and received long standing ovations both before and after he grounded out. He
tipped his cap to the crowd as he walked off.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: INF Devin
Marrero was optioned back to Pawtucket to clear room for Owens.LAST PRESENT FOR
BIG PAPIWhile the Tigers presented Ortiz with a large framed photo set on
Saturday, he got another gift from his friends on the team on Sunday. Before the
game, he was showing off a custom-made Venezuelan guitar that was decorated with
scenes from his playing career.UP NEXTRed Sox: Boston travels to Tampa Bay on
Monday, with former Ray David Price (11-8, 4.19) facing his old team in the
