OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Clemson finished what it started the night before at the College World Series, but not before getting a scare from Oklahoma.
The Tigers (45-28), who used an OU pitching meltdown and costly error to build a five-run lead before the rain and lightning came in the fifth inning Tuesday night, held on to beat the Sooners 6-4 on Wednesday in the completion of a suspended game.
The win was a relief for Clemson after having its momentum stopped by the weather.
"You kind of left the job undone," Tigers coach Jack Leggett said. "We wanted to finish that game off last night because we were feeling pretty good. It's tough to go home and have to start your batteries up again."
Oklahoma scored in each of the last three innings, but couldn't come all the way back.

TCU 11, Florida St. 7
OMAHA, Neb. -- Matt Curry hit a go-ahead grand slam in TCU's eight-run eighth inning and the Horned Frogs eliminated Florida State from the College World Series, 11-7.
The dramatic win carries the Frogs to the Bracket 1 championship game in their first CWS appearance. They will play UCLA on Friday, needing to beat the Bruins twice to reach next week's best-of-three finals.
The Seminoles, without a national title in 20 CWS appearances, went 1-2 this year after blowing a five-run lead in an error-filled performance against TCU.
The Frogs trailed 7-3 entering the eighth, and it was a two-run game when Curry came to bat against closer Mike McGee.
Erik Miller (1-1) got the win for TCU. McGee (4-1) took the loss.
