CLEMSON – It’s an early-season ACC showdown in Coral Gables this weekend as No. 12 (D1Baseball) Clemson travels to Miami to take on the fourth-ranked Hurricanes.
The Tigers (17-3) have won eight in a row, including an 8-4 victory over Presbyterian at Doug Kingsmore Stadium Tuesday. The Hurricanes are 19-4 after defeating Bethune-Cookman 5-4 Wednesday night at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, the site of this weekend’s series.
The first pitch in Friday’s contest, slated for broadcast on ESPN3, is set for 7 p.m.
“We have looked a little bit at Miami. They have three left handed starters and anytime you face lefties that throw strikes they are difficult to score runs in bunches against,” Clemson head coach Monte Lee said Wednesday.
