Teams wanting to make a deep postseason run need to play at their peak this time of year. A Clemson team wanting to break a long string of postseason disappointment is currently trending in the wrong direction.
Clemson last made it to the College World Series in Omaha in 2010. The Tigers defeated Arizona State (6-3) and Oklahoma (6-4). The Oklahoma game was suspended (due to weather), with the Tigers leading 6-1. The game resumed the next day, and the Tigers held on for the 6-4 victory and advanced to the CWS semifinals.
Of course, Clemson lost its next two games, both to South Carolina, as the Gamecocks marched to the College World Series title.
